so i turned my transporter into a filtered q tank.
it can also be used as a filtered transporter with an inverter.
200gph pump.
1 clothes hanger.
4 scrubbies and some filter floss.
i pvc glued the small tube inside.
reason is if the media gets clogged it will still flow.
no glue on the ends "it would just leak back into the tupperware anyways".

""and i found some cool caps at lowes,will post pics of the closeup later""

Wow, filtered! You must put some miles on your vehicle for the love of fish.
That's dedication!

If all the media were fully established (several weeks) then yes, if you only put part of the media in then no but it won't take long to grow.
