04-01-2007 22:30 by robinaero	I have a jewel rio 240 marine tank. I have decided that I am now sick and tired of seeing the filter box as it is right in view all the time.. Is it possible to take the box out? and is it possible while not disturbing the fish too much? regards robinaero
04-01-2007 23:17 by wayne	easy , just cut the four blobs of silicone off , and put all the media in it into the new , external filter(i presume your getting an external), job done
04-01-2007 23:21 by robinaero	what 4 blobs? It always has had an eheim external filter running. Just the box is on the side of the tank you see not the side against a wall. Typical !!
04-01-2007 23:29 by telboy	i take it ya talking bout the internal filter that comes with the tank?if so as wayne says theyre stuck in with 4 blobs of sealant at the back,simply ease the filter away whilst cutting the blobs with a stanley blade,take ya time + it should be easy
04-01-2007 23:32 by robinaero	where are these blobs of silicone? Bear in mind this tank is stocked with rock, fish etc!! Is the silicone at the bottom? thanks guys

05-01-2007 00:06 by wayne	you could always keep it and just move it to the other side
05-01-2007 00:17 by robinaero	where is the best place in the tank to put the heater that is at the moment in the filter box? thanks
05-01-2007 00:17 by primus	There are two blobs of silicon on the back of the box and two on the side . Came out of my Rio 180 easy . Best of luck .
05-01-2007 23:26 by robinaero	thanks guys the filter is out!! Had five blobs of silicon that easily prized away from the glass. Tank looks much bigger now!
