      Ok so i wanted to share what i did to modify these lil internal filters. They come setup with just a med coarse sponge and thats it. But being a diy guy i knew there was ways to make it more efficient for what i needed.

      So i cut the sponges into about a third of the size. I had found some really fine foam material and itll trap smaller particles. So i cut some round pieces out to go om top of the coarse sponge. Then on top of the fine foam i added some bio matrix. In the top portion of these lil filters theres a blank open chamber. So there was an area for something there. Did some thinking and came up with a carbon chamber. The lil plastic carbon things from a fluval mini fit in there pretty well. So basically iv made these into a micro internal canister, if u think about it. Iv posted some pics so u can see how it looks, functions and the process of the mods. The one pic shows the filter on the right and media on left to show how it stacks in there. Pic with the monster is to show the size of filters when all assembled. Now these are big but their only for a ten gal so flow is about 100 gph. Which is plenty for size of tank. And reg maintenance and weekly wc will be just fine.

                            Yes, definitely....you almost ready for some Goby fry?? They're officially Eretmodus Cyanostictus Zaire "Blue Dot" (Well, unofficially- that's what we think they are.) We've got 3...they're about 3/4'' now.
