Due to the arrival of some babies in the tank I built a homemade filter (90 minutes or less to make) to help with the additional load that the bacterial media will have to deal with...
Requirements :
The gaps around the power cable and water pump nozzle can be sealed with either a hot glue gun (quick fix) or with marine silicone (allow to completely dry before use)
The pictures should explain how to make this very simple water filter which and can be used as a temporary or permanent filter
At this stage the filter is just standing on the bottom of the tank but suction cups can be added should you want to mount it higher up in a corner
Feedback will be appreciated
