Filter basket for sponge filter

[Anchor_fist]

I few weeks ago I found a bunch of plastic boxes for holding nails on clearance for $1 each at Walmart. Today I got the Idea to take one of them drill a hole in the bottom and pop the top of the outlet tube on my sponge filter. It works pretty well and now I have a media basket to put ammonia pads, phosphate pads, bio rings etc

Should work very well. What you’ve done is create a kind of reverse box filter. Where the sponge and bio media go inside a plastic box underneath the uplift tube of a sponge. I liked Bentley’s take on the good and bad of boxes.  But if you didn’t know about these before, very cleverly crafted!
