justinkdenny Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 So I decided to make a media box for my IM 10. I took a few pictures along the way. Spent about 11 bucks in all and it turned out pretty good. Supplies: 2- black eggcrate (ebay) 1- bag of good black zip ties (walmart) Quote Link to comment
justinkdenny Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 I cut the back section with floral wire cutters, well I think that's what they are called, 4 sections wide. Quote Link to comment
justinkdenny Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 Then I cut the sides 3 wide and zip tied them together making sure the place where the zip ties fasten is on the inside of the box. Then I cut the inserts for the chambers 3x3. Quote Link to comment
justinkdenny Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 I made 4 of the dividers. Top and bottom and 2 inserts to make 3 chambers. Then I just sectioned them off as i saw fit. Again make sure the clasps are on the inside or it wont fit. Quote Link to comment
justinkdenny Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 Make sure to put the side pieces on the inside of the back piece, not stacked on the sides of the back. I'll try to show you with a picture for this step. Quote Link to comment
justinkdenny Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 Now it slides in really snug. It will bump on the zip ties going in but still goes in good. I ended up cutting 2 square sections off the top( total length) and then putting top piece on so it didn't stick up higher than the tank Hope this helps my fellow IM NUVO 10 owners on a budget or just likes doing DIY! 1 Quote Link to comment
justinkdenny Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 Added a screen as per Ratvan's idea. Hope it keeps most of the floss out of the tank. Fits nicely! Quote Link to comment
justinkdenny Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 Added the floss. Quote Link to comment
justinkdenny Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 How do you add more pics? It says I can only upload 25 mb. Quote Link to comment
