jkh772 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Greetings! I have question about mods for the ACO nano or small sponge filter w/ uplift tube kit. I have the medium with uplift tube for my 20g tall and I love it. I was looking to upgrade my small sponge filter in my 5 g, but I see from the diagram the minimum height is 10in. my 5G is barely 10 in so the tube would protrude from the top and if sitting on gravel I'm not sure if I can close the lid. Are there any mods to make the tube even shorter than the diagram? Looking at the spec online, looks like the small (10in) is actually shorter than the nano (11in). Thanks!

Dacotua Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 (edited) Cut the tubes. (The green tubes) See pic. (Nano filter in my 5g shrimp tank) Another option is take the Nano Filter apart, Toss one basket, cut the black sponge in half, now you have a 1/2 sized nano.
