I use 2 Fluval 305 filters for my turtle tank and it keeps the water crystal clear. It is sealed shut with a huge O-ring and the pump is built in. I doesnt lift very well though. I had to put a shelf at the same level at the bottom of my tank to get it to work very good. If you were to use one as a fuge or something I recomend emptying all the media (its all wide open inside) and getting underwater LEDs. Not sure how you'd get power to them though since the canister is sealed.



My plan was to cut a hole in the top and seal it with plexi or something so that light could get inside. Or I could drill holes and use InTank underwater fuge lights and seal them with silicone.

I used a fluval 305 on my fresh water tank years ago. I bet you could modify the lid some InTank underwater LEDs. Just drill a couple of holes and silicon or superglue them in. It would probably seal pretty nicely.

Cut a hole in the side and seal it. Like the back of a biocube modded with a fuge. Get a 4 gang box from Lowes and put a CF in there and velcro it to the side. That way the pump can stay inside the lid. Oh yea, the pump is inside the lid by the way lol.

Thanks for the info guys. I am glad to hear it is possible.

delete temp internet files and your temp files in general. Go to "start" then "run" and type "temp" (no quotes) then delete everything in there. Do the same for the %temp% folder. Be sure to put the % at the beginning and end. Then reboot.


No items in either location.
Other suggestions?
Also, this may be a stupid question, but how do I uninstall the McAfee my computer came with?
When I click on it there isn't an option for "uninstall", just "delete".
Do I just "delete"?
The free subscription expired and I alrdy have Avast and Malwarebytes on here anyway.

I saw hypes thread, that is what gave me the idea. I just don't want to use the canister filter as a filter per say. what with the maintenance and all. Just thought I might be able to mod it into a fuge.

How are we (Lost fanboys) gonna get screwed over? I haven't seen last nights episode yet. DLing tonight.

SO NO EFFING SPOILERS!!!! keep quiet if that is the case

Also, I enjoy fringe. It is the only new actiony drama show out now (that I watch) that doesn't emulate the "Lost-we tell you nothing, but make it seem like you got something" style (ie- "V" , "FlashForward"). They actually solve a case every episode which is refreshing. And in regards to the last episode. They stole that idea from "City of Lost Children"

Because apparently there is quote "nothing going on anywhere after prom". And I'm 24 and keep a refrigerator full of beer. They're 18 and apparently don't have any older friends or any trusting parents. I damn sure am not going to be the one responsible for what goes on after prom for a dozen or so high schoolers...

My friends and I all got a couple hotel rooms after prom. I told my sister that and she asked "What'd you tell Mom you were doing?" My answer "That we all got hotel rooms at the beach. They trusted us." She quit asking after that.

Yeah, spots like that can be found if you know where to look. Or if you have a 4x4 you can just go out on one beach that allows trucks.

I didn't drink, so I didn't really need the hotel room. What I was interested in could happen just fine in my parent's Suburban I borrowed for prom. wink.gif The girlfriend drank though, and it was fun to hang out with our friends.
