i did a small DIY media basket for my 6 gallon zoa tank. a large % of the water was passing by the right side of the filter and not actually getting filtered. here is what the flow looked like. notice how a fairly large amount is passing by the right side?
stock filter out.
so i cut 3 of these for "levels" for the new filter
then i used an 80 tooth saw blade on the table saw and cut some acrylic
here is the acrylic weld i used
so i built it 3 sided, so i can put the media in the open side, and the outside wall of the tank acts like the 4th side. here it is
and here it is with filter floss in the top, carbon in the middle (waiting on chemi-pure for 3rd chamber)
and here it is in action
notice how the whole water collumn is going into it now! it actually cleared up the water after a water change about twice as fast. let me know what you guys think

Thought I would throw my media basket on... I understand they are cheap enough to buy, however I like to build stuff... I used plexi glass, sealant, the front of an old box fan to make shelves... and the stock false bottom for a bottom, and cut the over flow to drop three waterfalls into the basket.
Without top and bottom
