    Hi there,

    Does anyone know where I could buy two of these mesh covers that fit into an aquarium filter.

    How big to you need them

    In my Saltwater aquarium, I used sink covers

    I think they are 60mm but I will double check. That looks like a great solution! Thanks.

    Hi there, seen these yesterday in the Euro Shop. They look ideal but how would they stay in place?

    The Suction of my filter kept them in place.

    I also used silicone on another tank.

    I dont know where you plan to add it

    Photo maybe?

    Hi there, only got fixed up with these at the weekend. Got a set of plastic sink strainers in a Euro shop and they are a perfect fit.

    Thanks for your recommendation.
