ok, will squeeze it into it. The new one is very basic, essentially just a foam cube over the filter housing...think it's like a shrimp tank one. If I attatch some of the old one , maybe half on each side it should have the water go through it before going through the new one...will squeeze out...

ok, will give that a go when I change the water in a bit. The filter in the other tank has 2 compartments so I'll cut one sponge in half and replace it with new...could probably do with a new one anyway. My new filter though us a different make, so I might have to try and attatch it somehow...

hi, I know they get big, we are having an extension tithe house and will be getting a much larger tank for them, they are still small so thought it would be ok for the time being. Cray is only in there till his tank cycles properly, thought it had but then readings went off sscale! As for...
