Has anyone used this or is using this canister filter? I'm planning on using this to take out water from a pool and then to power a waterfall/stream, would this work?
Thanks

Its just the cheapo clear plastic tubing. And they are SHORT. I had to use an extra tube I had laying around just to reach the bottom of my tank for the intake. Will give that a shot putting it below my waterline (which is still too low I think). If I can get it to work without having to rebuild my setup that would be nice. It ran all night so far with it placed above the tank like that post said but it definitely seems to make more sense to have it below like my rena xp2 canister for my aquarium. I will run it today below and repost.I'll be able to keep it under the water line. Does the pump use rigid piping or the piping that people use to siphon water out of a tank?
Um measure the hose...I'm gonna drill the tank and I was wondering... How big should I drill the hole?
Oddly enough I've found it works best towards the top of your enclosure. When its below the water line mine will stop pumping after a few hours.Um measure the hose...
Drill it and silicone it
Like they said before keep the canister below the water level...
Try adding more water. I've had quite a few aquariums, and even though I filter might say "Works with only 2" of water!" usually ruins the filter, so you get what i'm saying.Oddly enough I've found it works best towards the top of your enclosure.
