This is an idea I've been sitting on since mid 2011 but I came to the conclusion that even if I spent thousands on patents the Chinese would still copy the idea....
Therefore I decided you give the idea out to anyone who is interested in making their own 'invisible' aquarium filter.
The filter is designed to operate at very low flow rates (compared to conventional filters) to allow the special media to convert not only ammonia and nitrite but also NITRATE too which is a bit of a Holy Grail for filtration. This allows you to do less water changes and results in much more stable water conditions and happier fish.
Please share, like and comment if you think this is a groovy filter.
I've certainly seen nothing like this idea before and I have been involved in aquatics for decades so hopefully it will be an original idea (which in hindsight I maybe should have patented, lol)
The media used in this video is Biohome Ultimate - a media which I have had made to my specification and it represents the very best filter media available.
Biohome media is available in assorted sizes and porosity for various types of filters as highlighted below:
1 - Biohome Standard
A compact media suitable for overhead filters, trickle filters, sumps, external and internal filters.
2 - Biohome Plus
As above but with additives to ensure much faster colonisation by bacteria.
3 - Biomotion
A rounded media with neutral buoyancy. Suitable for moving bed filters, overhead filters, trickle filters, sumps, external filters and internal filters. Has montmonrolite clay coating to condition water.
4 - Biohome Ultra (large)
A larger version of Biohome standard with rougher feel. Extremely porous. Suitable for trickle towers, sumps, larger external filters, overhead filters and multi chamber koi filters.
5 - Biohome mini Ultra
A smaller version of Ultra, perfect for external filters, sumps, overhead filters, trickle filters and internal filters. Has the ultra porous structure in a more convenient size. 
6 - Biohome Ultimate*
This is Biohome mini Ultra with added trace elements (as in biohome Plus) which are essential for bacteria to rapidly colonise a filter. Cuts down the already quick maturing time of Biohome media and has the ultra porous structure and convenient size of Mini Ultra. 
*I am exclusive supplier in UK for Biohome Ultimate.
Trace elements in 'plus' and 'ultimate' are as follows: Silica, Titania, Alumina, Ferric Oxide, Lime, Magnesia, Potash, Soda, Phosphorus Pentoxide, Chromium Sesquioxide, Manganic Oxide, Zirconia, Hafnia, Zinc Oxide, Barium Oxide, Strontia, Stannic Oxide, Sulphur Trioxide. (from XRF analysis)
