Corner or Box Filters.?

Question

Where can I find a Box filter? None of the chain pet stores sell them anymore. :(

I need one for my nursery tank.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Make one.
Get a gladware or similar container, clean it and rinse well.
Cut a few thin slits in the bottom, and a few in the top big enough for stuck fry to escape and one big enough to run an air tube through.
Add a little gravel or a few stones to the bottom to weigh it down.
Put the air tube with stone through the hole so the air stone is in the middle on the bottom.
Add filter cotton or sponges to the top and close lid
Put filter in tank
Attach the air tube to air pump and start

Jehmco is the best place online for aquarium supplies. John is very helpful and his prices are very good. But for a nursery tank I would suggest a sponge filter instead of a box filter. The fry can easily eat off the sponge. If you run it in your main tank(s), you can start up a tank instantly without a cycle. I start and stop 10-20g tanks all the time like this.
