Submersable Filters Diy?

Hi guys. I was just reading a post about cloudy water and @ivan suggested using Seachem Clarity and filter floss. I,ve been wondering about this since I added clarify on Wednesday and I would say my tank is still cloudy. Assuming the particles are smaller than a sponge filter, how do I add filter floss to a filter that only has sponge. Do I just cut the sponge in half and replace the section closest to the inlet with filter floss or how is this done? :embarrest:

 

can you perhaps take a pic of the filter? normally i would just take of the spunge and fit the filter floss in its place.

 

I just stick a flat piece of floss on top of the foam. The foam compresses a bit so it works out fine.

 

@ivan - It's a Boyu 603e. The lower half comes off and is full of sponge. About two weeks ago I cut the sponge about 2/3 of the way up and inserted purigen between the two pieces of foam. So are you saying remove the sponge completely?
@mydummyname - if I used your method, would you put the filter floss between the sponge and the impellar and would you put the filter floss above or below the purigen?

 

i put mine between the foam and the impeller, that way the impeller takes longer to get clogged up (the way they tend to after a while with the brown muck) but i think any way would be effective in helping to trap the finer particles of waste in the water and give it that more "polished" look, so the foam takes on the roll of the biological filtration and the filter floss takes on the roll of the mechanical filtration..

 

@mydummyname - Thanks. I will do a sub filter mod as soon as I get some filter floss and post the mod here. The water is looking clear again but there are a lot of particles floating in the water. Hopefully the filter floss will remove them.

 

best of luck dude i know it sucks when your water isnt nice and clear..
