QT Sponge Filter

[greenmonkey51]

I need to get a sponge filter going so I can QT. For some reason I can't find any sponge filters around. I have a pump from an old HOB skimmer. Could I put a piece of pvc on it with a cap on the end. Then drill holes in the pvc. Then fit a sponge over top of it. Here's a quick drawing of what I'm thinking.

Don't see why not. Most of the local LFS around here carry them tough, cheap too.

I went to a couple places. Petco didn't have crap. The LFS had some, but they were 16$ for the largest one, which wasn't near big enough. I got another sponge and all the other parts. I can't wait to see this thing work.
