I saw some filter media in my LFS and I was wonder if I could just fashion my own filters outta this stuff for my Cascade and Penguin. I feel like I am always rinsing them out because they become clogged. The carbon in them was used up months ago. The only reason I keep them in there is because they are already established. What I am thinking is just cutting out some of the filter floss and stuffing it in the open chambers of my filter. Maybe I could even add some carbon in a media bag. Does anyone else do this?? Does it work?? Is it better than the filters that are actually made for my types??
Does anyone here make their own filters??

You might find a plastic media contaner to fit the Penquin ar the Lfs to make your own.Carbon easy to put in a nylon stocking then flatting it out.
couldn't you mabye have 2-3 smaller ones and then you could change one out completely and that way the other 2 would still keep the tanks bacteria level covered?
