    I got to thinking about adding a filter holder in the sump. I typically dont run a filter in the sump but every once in a while I will. I decided to use some of the egg crate I had laying around to see what I could up with. Well here it is. I wanted something I could remove from the tank so it wouldnt be in the way. This is what I came up with. Maybe Some of you can use this idea for yours or maybe give you an idea of something better.
