BBS box Filter
Hi guys,
Just to share my recent purchase of this BBS box filter. For those that still have problem with filtering BBS, this might be useful. Netting is fine enough to trap BBS. Although it is meant for tubi, but I tried my luck. It is successful in trapping 100% BBS. You can actually wash/soak the BBS in the box with clean water as well. Simple and straightforward to use. For those that is still siphoning may consider this box. No more salt water into tank water. |

I only when Aqua Star and found it. Never go explore further. BBS when hatched is smaller than boon. So if it can filter BBS, boon is of no problem.
This box can keep your BBS alive for some time if you want to feed slowly. Quote:

Bro, it is fine enough to filter BBS. For flowing egg shells, I siphon (sucker) it before filtering the remaining BBS. The sucker(big dropper) can be bought from daiso. As my hatchery container is round, those shells will normally stick to the sides. So sucking a few rounds will clear most shells.
After that, I pour slowly to this trap so that unhatched eggs remain at the bottom. I fill it up with tap water and wait awhile. I will suck the remaining shells from the trap again. Then feed to fish. |
