I was looking on DFS and saw this http://www.drsfostersmith.com/produc...fm?pcatid=3621 can you just use a floating breeder trap? I mean look at the pic for small..... it looks like my breeder trap so when I get a SW aquarium could I just use that?

I saw a video on you tube where the guy was actually making them. It was easy.

Hello! Young Buffalonian. You are absolutely right. Try searching for Lee's product. a hanging plastic container. LFS used them to hold fish when they net out fish to sell/bag.. I believe they come in either 2 or 3 sizes. Those suction cups wont be suction cup with time. And they probably will charge arm and a leg for a replacement suction cups. LOL!

Once you find the Lee's Product, I am confident you will know what to do with it when you study the one on sale for $40. I bet you can/will even make it better. LMK if need little help.

It looks like a kritter keeper. Could you use one of those and drill holes in it?

Try Lee's Aquarium & Pet Products in aq accessories. There are at least four different size avail. Think. I am you can come up with good modification, even one with small pump.

God Night Young Man. I think It's getting too late although it's Summer Vacation.

I looked..... would this one work? http://www.leesaqpet.com/component/v...&category_id=6

It wouldn't work the way the one on DFS would. There are slots in the bottom; this would prevent you from keeping sand in it. I believe this is what cerianthus was telling you about:

If you are considering this project for a Biocube, it may be easier just to convert one of the back chambers to a fuge with a waterproof LED light. I've seen DIY plans for this... I'll see what I can dig up.

Oh ok they sell those at my LFS for 5 buck
