Re: Building an aquarium
Check the hardware store for the honeycomb or square covers used for
florescent light fixtures (plastic eggcrate). This can be covered
with plastic screening with a hole size smaller than the gravel. This
material should be easy to cut and size to fit. Make sure that you do
not choose materials that would be toxic to your fish. Maybe someone
else can provide guidelines on materials to watch out for.

In the near future I intend to build an aquarium that will have a
foot print of either 3x8 or 4x8 foot. I want to put a false bottom
to it so I will be able to use under gravel filtration.
My problem is short of weeks of drilling holes I can not seem to
figure out a source for a plate that will allow under gravel
filtration. I intend to also have an external DE filter located in a
utility room.
Has anyone done a project of this size in the past, and do you
know a source for a filter plate.
