Soothing Shrimp Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 if you are going to do that, replace the cloth with a sponge and fill the bottle with filter floss. It will work wonders with your tank. A modified sponge filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc4PC2 Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 I like it, I kind of did the same thing with this DIY filter that I made to build bacteria, so I can put it in the new tank to help it cycle faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctaylor3737 Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 I am looking at these DIY filters that would be a sponge filter x10. They would be great for my fry tanks and my 10g shrimp tanks. They work on the same concept as a sponge filter but a lot larger area. I am looking at a good place to purchase decent foam to use. They are called hamburg sponge filters.

Soothing Shrimp Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Go here for cheapest I've found: http://stores.ebay.com/cllpetsupplies/?_dmd=1&_nkw=foam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctaylor3737 Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Go here for cheapest I've found: http://stores.ebay.com/cllpetsupplies/?_dmd=1&_nkw=foam I found a 4x8 sheet that was 50$ with shipping that was the poret foam. That would do a lot of tanks I would think. I'll see what number I can get and compare, -Chris jdmcfast1 and h4n 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfosgate Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 A 4x8 sheet? That's crazy. Where did you get your hands on that? jdmcfast1 and ctaylor3737 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctaylor3737 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 A 4x8 sheet? That's crazy. Where did you get your hands on that? I'll link the site. It would be cheaper than buying the little squares they cell. It's the same from what I see. -Chris cfosgate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen a sheet that size. And if I had it would have been about $350. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctaylor3737 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 I'll thro the link up when I work again. Thought I wrote it down. It's saved at work though. -Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
