No, its not.
That is a picture of a filter and a waterfall. It is not a picture showing you how to hide the diy bio filter
Next you will be showing a picture of the other end of the pool where the pump is.

The youtube filter has the aerator outlet on top instead of underneath the filter pads. The purpose of the aerator is to help the biological process in the filter as well as to aerate the water.
To save expense the plastic tub can be replaced by a raised pond with pondliner.

Suppose some one has a pond and wants to make a filter, can you (or anyone ) please prove* that to build a biological filter is cheaper than buying one.
Bear in mind, if some one wants to make one, the only thing they will have is tools, no parts.
Lets say a filter for a small 1000 - 1500 litre pond
I am just curios.
* You don't need to build it, just prices and links for parts
