unless you have it reglued by a professional
Why do you want to take the filter out of the tank?
it mostly depends on how good the welds are on that panel
Thanks, that's what I thought too. The filter is poorly designed by Aqueon, it's really not a filter, it was just a filter cartridge and it's taking a lot of space in a small tank. I might modify it by building chambers and turn it to a small sump or cut the whole filter panel with a dremel or something similar. Cutting is still an option, right?
