my pops had an idea to make a basket type thing to hold the media.
make basket the size of the filter box.
im thinking of ziptieing plastic lattice in the shape of a box to hold it all.
maybe notch the basket in one corner for the pump.
what about that idea?

Sorry, lost the thread... Add a slip fit or a union to the end of the pipe to be able to take it off.

should i do 2-2" pipes or just 0ne 4" pipe cut in half?
When playing with diameters, you have to keep in mind that math no longer is 'simple math'. Two times two no longer equals four. You will need four two inch pipes to equal one four inch pipe.

Ummm...if that is all you need, then yes. Two 2 inch pipes will be plenty. Ignore above post...
