Yep all you have to do is swap out the intake tube with this thing.

I found the black flexy hose that comes with it to be too long and ugly and just used some 5/8" clear hose. But whatever, it's really easy.

I should note that there is a long adjustment pole that comes out of it. It was actually too long for my Eclipse hood to close so I shortened it with a hacksaw.

This thing is cheaper than the Eheim surface extractor. I used to have the Eheim 10 years ago. The Eheim pulls more from the bottom, but the Fluval pulls way more from the top.
