Say NO to socks and Tupperware® in your tank!

Filter socks are so last year… these filter cups are all the rage! The Octo Cup™ is designed to work with most popular sump configurations and is made of clear, 1/8″ acrylic. All cups are priced individually.

Available for:

Standard 4″ – Tube is 3” diameter and approx. 6” tall. Acrylic clip included to suspend bagged media off the bottom holes.

Waterbox 2.75” – Introducing the world’s FIRST filter cup for small Waterbox tanks!! This will fit the Marine, AIO and Cube models. The tube itself is 2.25″ O.D. and available in 6" or 10" tall. Acrylic clip included to suspend bagged media off the bottom holes.

Red Sea – Tube is 3” diameter and approx. 6” tall. Acrylic clip included to suspend bagged media off the bottom holes.

Eshopps – Introducing the world’s FIRST filter cup for Eshopps sumps that use rectangular filter socks! My Eshopps cups will fit in the (approx.) 4″ x 6.5″ spaces in your Eshopps sump, 4” tall. *** PLEASE BE AWARE THE OPENING ON THE SUMP NEEDS TO BE AT LEAST 7" x 4.5" AND NEED ENOUGH CLEARANCE TO DROP STRAIGHT INTO YOUR SUMP. THESE ARE RIGID ACRYLIC AND CANNOT BE MANIPULATED IF THE OPENING IS TOO SMALL!! ***

Perhaps start a poll for need(s) on silencers? I know I would take 3 for sure

Is this still happening?

what's a "filter cup" anyway?

 

[Cherub]

hopefully they aren't crazy expensive like the ones out of the UK or Australia. i haven't found them domestically.

Does a filter cup hold filter floss instead of using the sock? If so, I want one!

I bet I could buy a plastic cup for $1, drill some holes, glue the plastic ring from a filter sock onto the top of the cup, and it'd almost be the same thing they sell for $25.

so a lot of you have been bugging me about making these things. mainly for red sea setups. i'm starting to actual get the motivation to put the plan in motion, lol. i know there already a cheap product available already, but they are ugly. i want to create my own design that will be clear acrylic. it would have a black acrylic bottom with holes, and a black acrylic rim for the top. these would be approximately 6.25" tall and 3.25" diameter. it would be nice to make once size that would fit red sea sumps and standard 4" sump.

i just need to verify 3.25" will fit inside the red sea holes. i also need to know how much room there is around the opening on the top. i don't want the hanging rim to be too wide and bump into anything.

Pretty much , or just throw the media you want to use in a 50 cent media bag and put it into the sock . Not sure why the cup costs $ 25

I want to use the cup as a replacement for filter socks altogether, and just fill it with floss. It's a 100x easier way to remove particulate matter, and I think they know they can get $25 for it.... cause I just caved and bought one, haha ;-)
