This was my wife's idea. I sketched it out and my father-in-law saw the sketch and decided to make it for me. He was a welder/fabricater before he retired. The frame is made from old bed frames.
I need to figure out a way to pay him back for making this. He's not a big beer drinker anymore.
Why not just buy one? I've been using this one for three years with no complaints.
There is not enough oxygen in the water. Get a bubbler or another filter that can add more oxygen to the water. thats why theyre jumping out.
remember that water temp changes (by a few degrees) is alot for fish. when im changing the temperature from 80 to 76 it takes me about 2 weeks. Its a very slow process. I would recommend getting this, and this . It makes water changes a breeze. The first is a must if you're lugging water. The second is amazing. I use it because i have extremely mineral heavy water and it really works, I've been doing water changes with these for over two years and I haven't had any issues. The advantage of the tap adapter is that you can add hot water until the water temperature reads the same as the water in the tank.
The filter eliminates 99% chlorine. There are other filters that are cheaper but i haven't found another that eliminates chlorine as well. For good measure you can still add half a dose of stress coat +.

I would pick one of those up for well water (shop around that one's pricey but it's an example), if you get water from the tap and see white flakes floating around then you have very calcium rich water. This stuff will harden on your tank and you will have to scrape it off with a razer blade. Filtering with a good carbon filter before the water hits the tank is important, calcium SUCKS to get off of things once the deposits build up.
I would bet the well water is more than likely significantly harder than your tap water, I would add some peat duckweed and driftwood to your tank to help soften it some, I am no expert on your water but 85% of wells in america are calcium rich and moderate to high hardness, Source: well water for 20 years of my life.
Not to take business away from Midwest, but I think there are better options for water filters. The RV water filters are easier to find, and so are replacement parts, plus they'll hook right into your lawn hose.
@$20, 100 micron filter
@$50, 5 micron fliter
