Need advice in custom aquarium

[litjc23]

I have made a aquarium that us going to fit into a 19 inch tv. The aquarium is only about 4 gallons. The lighting will be custom LEDs. The problem is the top had to be closed up and angled, leaving me with one question. What kind of filter do I need?

Here is a picture from the side. Thanks in advance

I think under gravel filter will work here.

 

[litjc23]

Thank you. Time to research!!!

Could u post the tv? It may help a little more

 

[litjc23]

Here it is.

U could do a very small sump in the back with a very small pump for the return line. And when I say sump I mean like coralife aquarium biocube's sump where it is on the back of the aquarium

 

[CharlieKlein]

That's gonna look awesome!

 

[litjc23]

As long as I can get it all to work! Looking into the sump pump right now.

Lol I remember seeing someone make a tank outbof an xbox!with the front if the system a viewing pales, a sweet rcs tank!! What are you getting in yours?

 

[litjc23]

Not sure. Gonna leak test tomorrow. Then figure out which filter I want. Then go from there

 

[CharlieKlein]

Yeah, a betta, or a colony of rcs would look gr

I actually seen a tank/xbox 360 that actually worked

I plan in making another in a computer case, but I have to finish this first. Not sure what u was gonna put in it. Thinking about something that's very bright and colorful, since a tv broadcasts bright colors.

Lol I saw an old computer at school collecting dust: would be very fun to make a neat desktop tank!

 

[litjc23]

I do computer repair and always have cases laying around. Thought that would be a cool display for my customer's to see when they come in.

What about a sponge filter?

 

[litjc23]

I was just fixing to ask about those

 

[litjc23]

Went ahead and leak tested. No leaks yay! But its only 2 and a half gallons. O well. I like the looks of the sponge filters for this application. What's the pros and cons of a sponge filter?
