Filter tray/basket

[JuanGutz]

View attachment 18086 Alright I hate filter socks with a passion and instead want to go with a tray to hold poly filter. Need help with what I should use. Looking for a basket that can fit in a standard 20H and only has holes in the bottom. This is all I’ve really found so far.

Could you drill holes in an acrylic sheet and attach sides? Then you could custom make to your dimensions.

What is the application? I have them in my sump’s bubble trap. So much nicer than socks.

I think that just might be the best thing to do. Went out and just bought a $6 8”x8” food container that I’ll drill holes in the bottom.

Have everything drain into it and have prestine water with not detritus in the sump.

I use mesh socks in mine, and then I put other medias in the bottom of them like sponges. So much easier then felt socks as they dont clog and a lot easier to clean.
For baskets and stuff, maybe try the Container store? I went and picked up a bunch of kitchen baskets of different sizes to use in my frag tank that work perfect

pro move! you can also cut out the bottom and silicone in a plastic mesh like gutter guard for more drainage
