Drip tray, fragging/work mat, or...?

DirtMcGurt · Mar 11, 2019

I'm not sure this is really a DIY... but I thought I'd share. I saw these dog kennel liners in a pet store and it has made a great drip tray for when I'm working in my tank/sump. I also used it to frag off some GSP from a rock. Since I pulled the entire rock to snip off extra growth. It worked well as a work mat for cleaning my pumps. They come in a few different sizes. Maybe someone else will find these as useful as I have. I plan on getting another and may just leave them both in front of the tank most of the time. We'll see.

Oh...nice. this might have to be my new fragging tray. It's nice and big compared to the tray/cutting board I've been using.

Thanks for posting the suggestion.

Never thought of this....I really like the idea and can use them on my new countertop work area when I frag in the fish room too :)

I like your big tray.

If you don't have one, you need one.

Now for me, my kids (and I say kids, but they are all in their 30's) procured this tray about 15 years ago...and I don't know what kid "procured" it, but I'm thankful.

I can't even tell you how many times I've used this tray to take stuff out of the tank to "work" on it. It's a necessary piece of equipment. Thank you Taco Bell! Yo Quiero plastic tray!
