    well, i cant help you much except say that i would get a filter and convert it, much easier and you really dont have to worry about the power going out and your tank drained over your floor or something.

    For a 10G, you could use a much smaller aquaclear filter. Or you could do what I did. I got a betta box and drilled some tiny holes in the back for suction cups. I have live rock rubble and some chaeto in there. I have it away from direct flow but water moves through it and my pods have somewhere to reproduce.

    This way I don't have to get a separate light.

    You can get the box at Petco for 1.99 or something like that.

    I'll get some pics of mine tomorrow and put them up.
