What is this

Hi, welcome to the forum

Sorry I can't make it out. Was it moving?

 

[Matlon41]

Nope

No it wasn't

i will try take another picture, it might help to get it from another angle

also i dont understand why it it like a little box and what its used for

 

[Delapool]

I guessing on both but thought would be dried plant leaves(?) and wondering if the box was for an auto-feeder or filter. Are you able to google or post the brand? I'm afraid I probably won't recognise it but someone more local should (assuming you are in US).

Maybe it's a plate you can maybe push out and snap off to be able to put food through? Lol I'm probably way off

 

[Matlon41]

OK

OK thanks for your replies. im glad you got those thoughts about the box.

And i think it is for a filter og an autofeed device. i live in denmark. unfotunatly i am not able to see what the brand is, because i couldnt find any place to look for it, which maked it hard to google.

and of course if you have more ideas to what it can be you are welcome to post

It's for overflow filter the small hole would be the feeding hole and the larger for the water fall

If you get creative you can build undergravel filter and hook to to the overflow, this way the water will get filtered through the gravel, then through the media up the undergravel filter to the overflow where it can get something like 3rd stage filtration and then back to tank ? That's what I would do most likely and its provide adequate filtration
