Custom Reverse Bent Media Baasket
I have Waterbox 50.3. I purchased two media baskets (clear acryllic with green shelves). The work great in both chambers of the aquarium but, due to logistics of hanging on baffles one basket faces forward and other faces rearward. the rear facing was a bit more challenging in that one has to be slow and careful to not spill water over the rear tank wall when lifting up the basket to do floors / media changes. That said, i asked In Tank if they can custom make a basket where the curved hang on was on other side, so that it could face forward so that all water drips into display and not rearward. Guess what? YES! They did and the cost was nominal. Now I am a happy happy aquarist! No hesitation when lifting basket up. THANK YOU IN TANK! Now just a die note — I did superglue the bottom two shelves as the weight of bio balls and media too often caused the shelves to pop out and then have to stick arms or tongs to retrieve what falls out. IF YOU SUPERGLUE — apply only to the lateral edges of the green shelf, NOT to the part that sticks into the openings. If you do, you may not be able to use the basket as the basket is a snug fit in the chamber and the glue overflow will stick out and block use (i learned that the hard way and had to order another basket. Love the baskets.
