Any updates? Is it still working as it was when you started using it?

"...anyone haveingenious designs for putting a small pump...."

I havent tried it but I've always assumed that if the pump is in an airtight container and pumped water OUT.... the suction would be enough (after being primed) to keep water flowing.... but I dunno

True, but the hard part is, how do you get the power cord in to the pump without making the container leaky (thus reducing suction) or cutting the power cord?

My filter was running fine until 2 days ago when I replaced it with a 2213 that was handed down from a larger tank that got a new filter. I'll probably set it up on new tank when I get the money for another tank!

Only complaints:

I had mine stuffed with filter floss and biological rings and it clogged up relatively quickly, causing the powerhead to make noise. I guess this means it's doing its job?

My seal started to leak a little while back due to normal use, but I fixed it with silicone.

hehe...well... you cant without cutting the cord that is....you can cut the very end off and wire on a replacement end that wouldnt look too bad

Other than that drill a slightly undersized hole and pull the cord through it. I guess seal with silicon. Though epoxy might be a better bet. *shrug*

ofcoarse this is all speculation as I've never tried it LOL

I was thinking about making a nano canister and had some spiffy ideas and realized it may not be worth it with the Zoomed 501 costing ~$35

I needed a spot to paste a link, but it was off-topic, so I edited it out.

Here is a DIY Nano tank canister filter I put together last month.
