Thanks rotwhiler,
I still have the filter, but I felt the auto-water changer uptake & return were out of scale with the tank (and ugly too). I made new supply & return tubes out of clear rigid 5/16" tubing. I slide some silicon airline tubing inside the clear rigid 5/16" tubing to keep the tubing from collapsing, then I heated it up over my propane grill & bent it into the shapes I wanted. Then I connected the sponge filter & my Aqua Lift pump. It's working fine & much less noticeable than the old way. See the attached picture below.

really came out nice. I'll post mine soon.
Hi echofish,
I'm not using a heater and the temperature is running about 65 F. That's below the recommended temp range for the killies, but so far they are still feeding well. I think endlers can handle temps in the 60s OK. Some people around here keep endlers in their outdoor ponds year round to control mosquitos.
