Hey BIGTANK, maybe if you get the chance, would you mind posting pix of your home-made filters on the forum?? I would love to learn some new styles for filtration.

Thanks.

Matt

sure... this is the filter for my dwarf enclousure... just a plastic box with plexi divisions, it works with a 250 g/h PondMaster water pump ($14 at PetsMart)

The filter went together really easy. The problem turned out to be the caulk. I used aquarium caulk, which didnt stand up to the high pressure flow of water. I'm going to re-try it with a better caulk, and I am also considerring building the whole thing out of 3/4" plexi glass. My reasoning behind that is I know someone who would design it for me and it would actually be pretty cheap. I'm not sure, but as soon as I have some more updates I'll send you pics. Oh, my email has changed. Its now.... Cloud9Reptiles@comcast.net
I moved, so I had to change internet providers. Anyways, I'll talk to you later.
