3" cage
Thought that adding a cage onto the 3" pressure pipe input into my moving bed would be easy and cheap.... wrong!
Anyone come up with a ghetto solution to this? I've looked at nets, seives, grids, grilles, mesh... but nothing that looks easy to attach to 3"

do you mean a mesh cage like this?
depends on how big your media is to what size mesh...
i had trouble finding mesh for the K1 micro my DIY 'easy' so cut vertical slits with a chopsaw in a 110mm pipe

what's the bottom one Dave? Yeah I'm thinking of K1 micro or K1+ (I read that the latter is optimsied somehow for mb use?)... or maybe even Hel-X.
Can't cut the pipe unfortunately so looking for something that will go on the end.. .relatively compact ideally.

Like the plant pot idea... hadn't thought of that. An end cap could work I guess but quite expensive and I'd have to drill a lot of closely packed holes through it. I'll have a look for some pots... in fact I wonder if there are any aquatic plant pots that may be an option....

sorted now. 50p (ish) for a small round pond plant pot... widened the holes slightly with a small drill bit... wedged it on.... jobs a good un
