Question

I was on ebay and i found a Hang on back breeder box. Its like a hang on the back filter but its a breeder box. It is air powered and it comes in many sizes.

So my question is has anyone tried one? And if so when your dont have fish in it do you use it as filter box?

thank you for any input

this is a link to a guy selling it. It also has pics of it being used.

I actually just ordered one yesterday from kensfish, can't wait to get it. It looks like a great concept, much better than traditional breeder nets/boxes.

I'll do a review when I get it.

Will do, should be this weekend or early next week. I'm probably going to use it on my 125 as a transition for the angelfish eggs/fry that come up every 2 weeks.
