Intake cover for Whisper internal filters

[Tjd2006]

Hi Guys,

I have two whisper 30i internal filters and I want to use them on a shrimp tank. The problem I am having is they have a very large rectangular intake and I am not sure how to cover it with foam to make it shrimp safe.

Anyone have any any advice? I have included a link to the filter

Maybe just slip pantyhose over the whole thing? Not quite sure haha

Pantyhose or a sponge would work.

I think I'm going to have to go with pantyhose. No idea where to get a sponge big enough.

I might be able to hunt down a filter media bag hopefully. Somewhere.

It may be ugly but you could use 'cut to fit ' pads and rubber bands...

Or here is a large sponge,

I used one of the large black sponges and then sewed it with fishing line to fit my intake. Way back when I had an HOB.
