Antipofish - prefilter arrived and fitted. Only using one half currently, though may put the other half on the other inlet with some sort of covering for the hole at the bottom. That way prefilter both inlets with one part. Man it is huge though, hadn't really realised.
Re the gas bottle - just bear in mind it has a collar to protect the outlet - this is a good thing except that it could make fitting your regulator/solenoid combo challenging - in my case the solenoid is at an angle to the reg as this is the only way it would fit. Seems to work fine though.
Am currently running the system with an intank co2 diffuser - this thing is rubbish. no matter where i put it the bubbles just go straight up and pop on the surface. And a nightmare to fit and keep in one place. Roll on getting the AM1000 fixed, and NOT LEAKING EVERYWHERE.
