Definetly qualifies for the International Redneck Aquarium Engineering Award :P

Hehe, just kidding. Really great idea for a in-a-pinch filter when emergency arises, or if someone is on a low budget.

That looks like it cleans your tank fine.

yeeee haaaaaaa

the bubbles flowing up, creates suction in the filter which draws water though the filter cartridge. i have a store bought filter in my moms betta tank that is air powered. works like a charm.
