Any particular reason you're avoiding the IM Media Caddy or the InTank Version? InTank also sells something similar to what you're looking for

Sorry just now seeing this and never got a notification. I actually have the intank media basket for but not really a fan of it. It works for what it is but it has flaws, it’s not exactly flush with the chamber making it have vacuum gaps on the sides and front (I’ll circle is the pic). Basically anything that floats like food pellets etc will get through the gaps getting stuck in the sump area and hardly if ever get traps in the mafia basket. I do weekly water changes so I always get the water from the sump because I know food is back there

So, have you found anyone that makes a basket for the 15 that doesn't have gaps and actually works as it should?

No I couldn’t find any baskets so I decided to just use poly filter. I took the basket out and just take a handful of it and just put it in the back chamber. I change it every few days it works good for me
