Built this after realizing most pump “1.25” fittings still bottleneck flow. Designed a true 1.25” threaded adapter to keep full output—and added a venturi version for a DIY skimmer build. Surprisingly fits multiple pumps I tested. Curious what other setups this works on.

Switched away from filter socks after getting tired of constant clogging and maintenance. Designed this media cup to handle higher flow with less restriction and better distribution. It’s part of a larger sump build I’m working on—simple, reusable, and easy to clean.

Picked up a 55 gallon tank with a snapped center brace and trashed rim. Instead of tossing it, I rebuilt the top completely—custom brace + trim. This model is the brace that brought it back to life. If you’ve got a tank sitting around with a broken brace, this might save it.
