    Cheaper and easier to just buy a sponge filter... Fosters and Smith has one for a 10G for like $4... I've got two of them and they work great.

    I agree. Making sponge filters isn't hard, but unless you're planning on making a LOT of them, it's just cheaper to pickup a cheap $5-10 unit at walmart or online.

    I agree. Very cheap but you will need an air pump to run it and some air tubing.

    Unless you have all that stuff already you're going to spend more to make one than you would buying two or more.
