Also i have the same type of filter (only the 400 model) and i had that same question. My filter came with piece 7 but it made the filter to long. So i just kept the thing out.
all good here, i tired to put the hose on today to see it it works.. no go i had to blow in the hose to get any bubble to come out..????

Looks good. May I suggest a background. I recommend solid blue or black. I painted mine black but they sell backgrounds that can be taped on. Black would help your equipment blend in a little.

i also have a 200, it is just a vibration, it comes from those lids. just get a sort of heavy decoration on, not to heavy to sink your filter though

They sell aquarium safe glass cleaners. Or you can use warm water and vinegar with newspaper for a streak free clean

Is there a reason why you aren't using RO/DI water? Tap water is bad for this hobby.

I disagree. While there are certain risks you take using tap water, many have used it without any problems when it is tested and treated properly, including a one Robert M. Fenner. I think it depends on the quality of your city's tap water. Here in Ann Arbor the water tests fine for aquariums, however, at 39 cents a gallon RO/DI is just as easy to obtain.

Touche!
Excellent point. I wasn't thinking. The tap here is awful.
