 I am not fibbing,
I am waiting for a new turtle-food bucket to get empty. Then I will show how I made the canister filter. Because the running one is sealed with instant bond to stop leaks. |

Finally I opened the bucket. I had installed it on the 26/6/2012. It smells like camphor. the gunk is on the top most side of the bucket.
CKD completely knocked down unit- with gunk
Strainer for washing carbon fragments-and nylon wool (this wool never dies)
Active carbon with no gunk-bucket wall with gunk
Cleaned all the media with Tank water and reinstalled the bucket again
