## Description

Media basket for 12" wide aquarium

Review: You need this! - People who say these don’t fit — CAN YIU READ A Product DESCRIPTION that tells you what this fits? Can you???? These are amazing! Well thought out. Well designed. Sturdy. Best thing is you can use an old tank that’s just laying around and turn it into an amazing wet dry filter that rivals any sunp overflow filter on the market - DIRT CHEAP. You NEED THIS. Just buy it!!!
Review: Durable but doesn't fit my tank - This is a pretty durable feeling basket, though the price is pretty excessive for what it is. Unfortunately it doesn't fit imagitarium 29 gallon tanks. I knew before ordering that imagitarium 29g are not quite standard sizes, but I at least figured this would wedge about halfway down into the tank. It almost sits on the inner rim lip, but not quite, so I can't even leave it like it is unfortunately, and will either have to remove the tank rim lip or find something else, probably a pond basket, which are much cheaper. I was willing to pay the price for something I thought I could use, and it is well made, but unfortunately it's just a little too wide. 4 stars for the inconvenience and price, otherwise it seems like a good product.

## Features

- Size: 12"x10" Fit on top of standard 20Long, 20High, 29,30,55gal and other 12" US standard aquariums. It will also fit on top of Aqueon 10gal
- Holds filter pad and other pre-filter media. Block majority of the fish waste before entering your tank / sump
- 2.5" overflow drain prevent potential clog and overflow
- Much cheaper but way more efficient and easier to maintain than filter socks.

Almost fit perfect needed an inch more. Hope with the acrylic shelf used inside doesn’t give up because of the weight.
