I tried to take a couple of pictures with my old digital camera but they didn't turn out well enough to see. My son has my new one on vacation. Figures..lol. Anyhow, it is really easy to convert. Just remove the basket, ditch the sponge filter and cut the basket. I cut it in 4 pieces along the corners. I put one of the small side pieces against the intake so chaeto wouldn't get in the chamber. I then took one of the long sides and put it high in the front so the chaeto wouldn't fall into the tank. Some still does but it is a small amount. I have heard of some that glue everything together but I didn't have to. The LR rubble pretty much holds everything in place. Flow isn't really strong enough to make these move. The other 2 pieces I kept for some unknown reason. Hope this helps and when my son gets back maybe I can get some decent pictures.

One a side note...when I was trying to get pictures I saw what must have been 100 baby brittle stars. So, not only do you get pods, you get mini cleanup crews
