DaveSamsell Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 HOME-BREW / DIY BOX FILTER I thought it would be interesting to experiment with a DIY box filter. 🧐 Had spare parts lying around and got a little creative in the fish workshop. ⛏️ One main focus point I like about the filter is that it is self-contained. It "shouldn't" make a mess when removing it from an aquarium. Or at least I hope. Will let it run a few weeks in a tank and see if it actually works. ⏳ 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Smith Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) Love it! Simple, cheap effective. I see no reason why that shouldn't work just fine. Only thing to watch out for is the potential of fry swimming into those holes, but I'm not sure that's altogether a bad thing. 👍 Edited July 29, 2020 by Bill Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) My first tanks had box filters, I remember filter floss and charcoal. Penn Plax made them maybe? Seems like you must had those a one point? Very ingenious! Edited July 29, 2020 by Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
