Better built media basket for JBJ 28 nano!
I also built this media basket to go in my JBJ 28 center chamber. The basket allows more water to flow through the chamber than the factory built media basket, plus it has a larger middle chamber for Chaeto to grow in. I use filter floss in the top section them Chaeto and last Purigen. I don't run a skimmer on this tank and this setup along with the Chemipure reactor works very well. The basket is built from 1/8" acrylic and 3/8" eggcrate light diffuser.

Chaeto is lit by a jbj nano glo light. It is held on the back of the tank by a magnet that is inside the tank, very cool. Here is a link.

Home depot should have it or Lowes. Try to get the kind that is only 3/8" thick as opposed to the thicker one because I have read and I believe it to be true that hair algae is attracted to the thicker stuff but repelled by the 3/8" because it is made of a different material. I believe it to be true because I have zero hair algae on mine, or even in my tank anywhere.

Lowes didn't have it last time I went looking. Home Depot in Longview had it in the section with the industrial lighting.

Re: Better built media basket for JBJ 28 nano!
Hello Donnie, Will you be able to build me one of the media basckets for my JBJ 12 nano. I live in south texas so it would have to be shipped to me. Please let me know how much and I will need two if you can. Please tell me you can.

Re: Better built media basket for JBJ 28 nano!
Sorry I don't have the stuff any more but I'm enclosing a link to a friends website that builds a great media basket for the 12g JBJ, check out this link for all kinds of stuff for JBJ and other nano's.
