You could purchase a fluval sponge to go over the strainer.
But it has to be the small strainer this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EHEIM-Inlet-S ... 1c25a65cc9
The grey tubing is expensive that's why i don't buy it.

Better with the sponge serves as a pre-filter.
These may rust eventually if metal.

Ive got on of these in my hand there's no box but i'm sure its the above check in the store first.
Dimensions 2 3/4 inches high..... 1 1/2 wide these cover a 12/16 lily pipe.

i ran a sponge on my old tank but found it reduced flow a LOT. Hence thinking of other solutions. I cant afford a loss of filtration as it is a hob filter (cant use an external) and will have high grade CRS in a week or so.
 
Hi all,

If you have a coarse sponge and keep it fairly clean it shouldn't reduce flow any more than a metal mesh. I'm not too bothered about aesthetics, and all my tanks are jungles, so I use green PPI10 sponge, but you should be able to get a carbon black one that should disappear into the background.

I'd just buy a sheet of coarse (PPI10) sponge sheet and cut to the size and shape you want, and sew up with nylon thread or fishing line.

Hey,

Yeah I ordered them directly off the website, message them via ebay, see if they can do you a deal like 2 for £10 or whatever.
They are the exact ones i purchased, and mine came black. So again ask them via ebay if you can have them in
Black.
Prior to purchasing from aquashrimps i bought one from far east, ( couldnt find anything else) and the ones from AQuashrimps are far superior to the one from HK.

Can post you a pic later if required,

Hey Iain,

I found them (after looking for them for ages!) after my local Paddock Farm (http://www.paddockfarm.co.uk/). I dont think they have them on their website, but if your ever up near Darlington area, They are worth a visit. They are just getting really into the planted tank scene.

Anyway, I have millions of the little blighters running about in the holding tank! So If I get rid of some, (maybe a month, or until they show a decent colour) can send some your way if you want? Will be selling them in the Forum too.

Good news on the Filter cap :thumbup:
Regards

Id love some fire reds when you come to sell, i have quite a few sakura offspring but the solid red doesnt seem to come out until 6 months on now. A bunch of fire reds would thicken my gene pool nicely. I would start a fresh but just too many to catch now, didnt even manage to get them all out of my nano when i redid it, they are sneaky buggers!!

Cheers Nath.
