Betta Aquarium Aquascape (5 Gallon planted tank)

I am using the same tank but I still have the built-in filter on the side. How did you remove yours? Planning to remove mine as well as I am planning to add a new HOB filter. Thank you.

I used a sharp knife with a thin blade like a box cutter and cut it out. I warmed up the blade a bit and that made it a little easier. I was a little worried about it sealing because I cut some of the silicone. So I got some aquarium safe silicone and applied some to those sides. It makes it so much better, hope it goes well for ya.

Cool! How much did it cost?

It’s been a while since I put it together but around $150 - $200. Prices do vary on stuff depending where you live.
