Since coming up with the 'internal moving bed filter' idea and posting videos on Youtube years ago I have been constantly working on new ideas for filters - some worked some didn't but this one is a great one.
Here's another filter idea from Pondguru but this one is aimed at people who breed fish, have fish houses or highly stocked tanks.
Much of the time those multi-tank scenarios rely on foam filters driven by air which can be very noisy and offer limited processing of nitrate so therefore require large regular water changes. 
With this design I have managed to create a filter which aerates water silently and has adjustable bubble size.
It offers effective mechanical and biological filtration and will reduce not only ammonia and nitrite but also NITRATE as it uses Biohome Ultimate which supports aerobic and anaerobic bacteria better than any other media.
The filter is washable and you can customise it to offer chemical filtration with addition of carbon or set it to condition the water by swapping out some media for a peat ball if you want lower pH.
The whole outer tube of the filter will attract detritus, algae etc. so will feed fry and shrimps.
