When this is new in the box, does it come with either of the filter "cut outs" already cut out or can I leave the top solid if I want to? Thanks!

There is an area that is already cut out. You can also cut out notches in the back if needed, which is very easy.

Cut them, if its the ones under filter. Then you have the locks that snap in.

It has a pre cut opening in the back. It is for the filter back flow of water. Make sure your tank has a plastic border around the entire top of the glass . If. Not then the cover will fall into the tank. I had to build plastic extensions on mine.

I cant completely remember, but after looking @ it, I would say it was already cut out.two holes one big for filter and one small for air hose

you see the white plastic housing thats where the filter is. so you slide the top to the right and you can see the filter, its easy to change the filter. no major reassemble, it only took me like a 1 min to complete it.

There was one included when I bought mine. What you can do when that filter gets clogged is purchase a $4.00 vent filter (the blue ones) and just cut it to fit the unit. Works pretty well for $4.00. Saves a ton of money.

When I bought this late last year, I had the same question. The unit did not come with the filter - which seemed odd. I bought the filter later on. Hope that helps.

There are two processes going on, a permanent filter in the front and two replaceable ones right behind that. Careful, they are sold in boxes of three so order two boxes to keep it even.

You have to unscrew something and add the filter in.not difficult at all.i did it on my own. Works beautifully.

I took a piece of filter sponge and cut to fit for in front of the outflow. I was able to put it under the lip of the top cover and close it over the sponge. It really cut down on the flow. The filter also comes with a plastic curved piece that goes over the top to lessen the water flow. Also, the higher you have the water in the tank, the less the current. What size tank do you have?

It's been a while since I've changed mine but it just takes some effort to work the new filter over the original basket.you have to remove old filter first being careful not to break it or damage the original basket.then you have to work the rubber opening of the move filter over the basket and making sure it is completely sealed around the basket securely.that's the best way I know how to describe it.o piece you've done it once you'll catch on quickly of how to do it next time

I never noticed that. I just put it in the filter holder. Make sure you rinse it well first. It works just fine.

Hi - Yes, when I ordered mine, it came with the filter - everything I needed to replace the old unit. I hope this information is helpful!

Is this a new filter unit? If it is new, sounds like defective to me. My experience has been that the filters always end up leaking when it is time to replace. Quality of workmanship and design is not directed at longevity.

It is all one piece, in other words, the top is fused and yes, it is clear. There is a precut opening where your filter will sit and also where the light sits too, otherwise, its all solid..which makes access to the inside a little tight, but otherwise, it is a nice piece.

Hello. The filter will start making a gurgling noise when you need to change it. They are small and seem to need changing frequently. If it is a new filter you also may want to add water to tank to stop the noise. Filter should slide in the grooves and all the way down. I don't think it's suppose to be partially pulled out

Allison, Yes it does come with the filter. I had it for a month or so and it stopped working. I had to get a refund. Not very good. My advise don't get it.

I am not the seller of the pre-filters. They were easy to cut myself to accommodate my particular model. I suggest doing it outside. The pre-filters, I believe, are a charcoal composite and are a bit messy to cut.
