i simply just cut the filter pad things and put them in place, the 2 big black ones i just cut the blue stuff out and then, i cut some filter pads so one would go on each side near the middle. it was very easy to do. Just look at the pics and you will see how to do it.

you cut them? and then how do you seal it back or something? and isnt carbon that part that isnt preferred for the filters? or am i incorrect?

i didnt seal it back together i left it open, and i took all that black crap out, i think its bad for the tank, i just use the blue thing to help clean the water.
