Pointless really but clever, you can buy filters for under £10 that will work so much better than this. He would of spent that on the air pump alone.

yeh but one air pump could service several of these filters, i think its an ingenious idea, and a great way to recycle

i disagree.
i had an airpump that i received free with a tank from freecycle, it was attached to a long airstone.
i have managed to transfer most of my fry into a small tank away from the hungry females, but i have recently moved house and couldn't find my sponge filter, i'm totally broke at the moment, not even got £10 to spend and needed something really delicate for my babies to cope with, power filter no use here!
i made a mini one of these last night, the babies seem fine with it, some of them have even decided that squeezing down in next to the filter floss is a cosy bed!

so thanks blue_betta for a great tip!
