Breeder Tanks

you could also always do something like this. these are the small ones but they make some pretty big ones out there.

sorry for them being labled but these were some pics i took the other day for the thread listed in my sig and i figured they might help. these are floss filters so you load them with floss and carbon and they work just like a sponge filter. there about a 1/3 of the cost as a sponge filter.

these are rated at about 5-10g while the triangles in the last pics backround are rated at 20g. drfosters and smith and petsolution have these al the way up to about 75g.

there just a little more pricey than what these are http://www.petsolutions.com/Triple-Flow-Corner-Filters+I10813405+C19.aspx

Hey thanks Mjordan, I have seen filters like those before, but I had forgotten about them, they are a possibility and something to look into for sure.

I plan on touring some stores this coming weekend to see what kind of sponges and pieces of foam might be out there at discount prices.

My Goal is to make these breeder tanks semi nice too look while only spending what I have made selling off a few extra fish and supplies.
 
fair enough, but I am still not the bigest fan of buying online...I will attempt my DIY sponge filter project,

Any more help or guidance would be great if anyone else has done this
 
thers also alway the option (i know you said you dont like ordering online) of going on kensfish.com.... this is what i do when i run out of big floss filters.... http://kensfish.com/aitreplacementsponges.html

replacement sponge #5.... there big and can be cut in half for two filters... only two though.... they can also be used as one as there so cheap... there less than 3 bucks and you get sponges which then you can "diy" a rigid lift tube up thw whole with drilled holes in the tube.... you will have to cap the bottom and use your own airstone though....

still an option i guess.... i love them.. hope i dint confuse anyone :rofl:
