You need Acrylic sheets, I used leftover pieces in the lab. But if you go with the thinnest one, you can get one $5 dollars in Home Depot or Loews. Also need crazy glue (a few dollars) or aquarium safe silicon.

Preferably use a nice thin saw (I used upright bandsaw which made process a lot easy). You need some kind off drill for holes (I used hand drills).

Those are the final products


They fit chamber very nice. I think gap is less then 1/16" for all side so high water flow is guarantee.
These are really nice. InTank media baskets ate too expensive.
