Re: Tank Filters

Box filters or corner filters are made by Penn-Plax, Hagen, Lee, Ginger,
Lustar, and
Blue Ribbon. Ask your local pet shop to order some for you or go to a on
line service
to order them like www.petwhse.com.But , be careful you pay freight and
if there are
any damages you have to pay to ship it back to them. Bob
