Here is where you can get them. Go to Specifications to see which model, then you can order "samples" for no cost. They actually sent me six free of charge.

i am amazed. never seen that before or even though it was possible. how much did you spent all together to make this?

look very professional. i make one out of lock and lock box. if i put the filter lower than the tank. It will over flow and leak out. So i can't put it too low on the floor.

with my own pvc canister filter i have found that the water flowing up through the filter causes less noise due to air.

hi, no. it goes the other way. water enters from the bottom and goes up the filtering media and out the top.

xmuller

no. it won't kill shrimp. once dry it is completely safe.
