No good DIY would be without a design screw up. During a wet run of the filter I found that I had cut the bulkheads too high, and water was overflowing the sides of the filter in places. I solved this by using my dremel tool and cutting some slits in the bulkheads.

After that, I put the whole assembly on the back of the tank so I could measure where to cut my intake pipe. The intake pipe included with the AC110 is too long for a 10 gallon if you plan to have a sand bed (like I did ) so the pipe needs to be cut. When you cut, cut eht side opposite the one that has the fitting that goes over the intake pump. I left my cut portion in place to illustrate.

Next I put the lid on the filter and marked the portion of the lid that was over the refugium chamber.
