drained filter last night, now going to start sectioning off the filter with plastic walls this week when i get the chance, also going to order a bit more epoxy putty and a litre of the pond coat to fill all the screw heads over and give them another coat, just to be on the safe side, don't want any potential future problems with corrosion, a lot of the screw heads on the sides are still pretty visible. cheers alan for the advice.
lol i do want to, but just cant afford to run it.
was even thinking about *going to get flamed here* just some goldfish ....with no filter just so i can have SOME fish lol
