hehehe... OK, I'll get it done tomorrow for sure and post pics (of course).
Pffft. Fail.
Ha! J/K
I'll keep my popcorn nearby.
I have a Michael's here, so I'll check it out. Thanks!

I wanted to get the same filter for my 4.4G FBH. I already have a penn plax small world filter in it (changed the carbon stuff on the top with another sponge so it actually became a sponge filter now) but I wanted to add this filter or change the penn plax with this overall. I saw this in eBay:
FLUVAL EBI MINI NANO FILTER AQUARIUM FISH TANK INTERNAL - eBay (item 280612750482 end time Jul-05-11 13:51:25 PDT)
Is this price worth it? Please let me know.

Thanks James!
I was more concerned with the CRS since they're $8 each and the ghosties are .18 each lol. I'm gonna check out your thread next, but $26 for the Marinland? I got an AC30 for $28.
I just caught up on this thread. Very nice setup Mr. Limpet.
I'm glad you're having success with shrimp in the same tank as Elvis. I had ghost shrimp in with my first female betta (Mystique) seemingly with no problems, but after I added my second female betta (Killer) the ghosties were dropping like flies.
There are three internal filters for you to consider that seem to work pretty well.
The Fluval mini nano filter is one of them, which Mr. Limpet has used with success.
Another is the Marineland Duetto 50 or 100. I use the 100 as a backup filter in my 20g tank. The water flow is adjustable in both of the filters, but the Fluval Nano has a spray bar that will diffuse the water flow more effectively. I'm also of the opinion (without looking at them side by side) that the Fluval Nano may not be as wide as the Marineland Duetto 100.

Lastly, there's Tom Aquarium mini filter. It's a much smaller filter than either of the above (5 inches high, less than 2 inches deep/wide). I now have two of them, one as backup in my 10g tank, and one in my 2.5g nano tank. They have adjustable water flow and come with a spray bar attachment, which makes for an excellent nano tank filter.

I've modified my filter media because it had carbon in a container above the filter sponge. I've detailed what I did with it in my 2.5g build thread, link below.
