Hello everyone,
I have a JBJ 15G cube. The Overflow Chamber: 3.25"L x 4"W x 16"H.
I am looking to get a filter sock for it, but I can't find a 2.75 inch filter sock with a ring that holds it. The 4 inch ring is too big so I am kinda stuck.
Anyone know what I can do?

How about media basket?


Intank makes a nice one or search the 3d printing threads for file or someone who can make you one.

Have you tried a RS Max Nano filter sock?

As someone who has a IM Nuvo 10, IM Nuvo 20 and a IM 50 Lagoon the BEST thing I ever did was get ride of my media baskets and started using the IM filter socks. You would not believe the amount of brown/green crap they filter out daily. I have 2 sets for each tank and every other day I take out a sock, turn it inside out, rinse under the tap and then soak in a cup with bleach water. Then rinse it well under the tap a few hours(or the next day)and let it dry. I also like to suck detritus out of tank and squirt it into the sock right before removing it to clean.
Found this picture on a google search of someone who built a pvc stand and used a IM filter sock in his JBJ tank

Thank you! I have heard great things like this about socks so I want to try and figure it out. I may have to resort to this!

I don't have one but couldn't someone use a 3D printer and make a drop in adapted so you could use someone else's filter sock?
Yes! I have looked into that as well, not sure how to go about doing that myself!
