Answer
Anoop,
The filters that I make are sponge filters for my Betta tanks. I do not make the type of filter that you need. I would suggest getting a store bought filter for the size tank that you have. This way you will know that it is working properly. Remember, when you add a filter, the tank will cycle and there is a good chance you will lose any fish that is in it. Sorry I could not help you construct a filter.
