How do I install this into my fish tank?

The filter is held on by the supplied suction cups. You will need to an air pump (and related tibing) to 'power' the filter. It's a good unit. I'm pleased with the results in my tank.

You need airline tubing and a airpump appropriate for your tanks size. Slip the airline tubing over the clear tube at the top (you may need a larger size tubing which is sold at petsmart). Suction it down and turn on your pump. Each time you clean your tank you should squeeze the sponge to clear it out.

Read the directions that accompany it. Soak it in aquarium water for a few minutes, then attach air tubing from the vertical tube to the air pump. Use the suction cups to attach it to the inside of the aquarium. Turn on the air pump. Water will be drawn through the sponge, filtered and in contact with microorganisms which are in the sponge as supplied.

Attach it to a flat metal snake with zip ties and some tape over the ties to prevent snags. Then feed them into the pipe. I purchased the flat snake through amazon as well. Hope this helps. Mine had no connector in the middle? Just an insulator which is also water proof.

From what I understood/remember, you can put it directly into the tank, in the water. (I have mine in a hood) You could also lay in at base behind tank or "rig/tape" to top of tank outside/back perhaps?

Yes, you can. But it isn't easy. Either rinse the heck out of it (you will be rinsing away quite a few minerals as well, so be aware of that), and lower it in a scoop at a time. Or nearly empty the tank, putting the fish etc. In a bucket. Add product in where you want it, replanting as necessary, then refill. The first is easier, the second better, though difficult with larger tanks.

Loosen large nut that connects filter to pump. Remove valve or plug on bottom of filter allowing all water to drain. Disconnect return hose from top of filter. This will free up the tank to place inside. I normally remove all stainless bolts, washers and nuts and pull the top off the filter and clean all old earth from the fingers. Let dry before placing top back onto filter. You're now ready for next season startup.

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.

There was a insert that came with part that fits inside. You take a ratchet with extension on it and turn clockwise, this is after you've put the past in the hole. As you turn the insert it tightens up on the tank, Keep turning until tight, turn on water and make sure it doesn't leak past if it does tighten some more, remove insert and store somewhere where thou can find it again. It's really quite simple just takes some time tightening it up.

It goes not into the tank but into where the water goes - into those little round bits on the very bottom unit. Mine had wrong instructions too!

It just sits on top of your skimmer basket. Attach it to the vacuum hose, fill the hose with water from the return inlet then slip it thru the skimmer opening

Go on YouTube, search for Aquarium phyton no spill and you will find a video w/a lady who demonstrates how to use this phyton. It also comes with instructions that will show you how to install and use the drainer/filler.

I just filled like a standard fish tank just below the lid and it seems to work well. I hope that helps!

Use use the bulb in a fixture designed for the top of a fish tank but my husband thinks that yes it would fit into standard fixture

You can pour it directly in with the fish but I would try to put it in a place of water flow such as where your aerator makes bubbles or the output of your filter. It spreads it around faster this way

Yes, it works quite well. Make sure you get the right size for your fish tank.
