    I though it is very easy just put container on top of your tank, put filter media in it and pump water to it

    May I know how big your tank is?

    1st is to get hold of a water pump which could run / turn over at least 8 - 10 times of the volume of water of you tank.

    2nd is to see whether could your hands on multi plastic trays or basins.

    3rd, drill holes of about 5-8mm at the base of the tray/basins.

    4th, Find a way to stack them up, one way on top of each other…
