Hi everyone, so got my Intank Chamber 1 basket today and was getting it setup and was installing the chamber 2 plug and realized it doesn't fit. It looks like the hole on my Fluval 13.5 is bigger than what it suppose to be. Is there a DIY option for the plug that y'all have done? Any tips and tricks os greatly Appreciated!

That's odd. As far as I know neither Fluval or InTank has changed the dimensions. How much of a gap are we talking about?

So the gap is just big enough to where it easily falls out, not a snug fit at all. Should add the hole also slightly looks chipped around that whole. Not a perfevt Oval basically.

I had to superglue my plug in. It also fell out easily. I don't know if this is intentional or not, but I found InTank information recommending securing it that way. It's up to you if you want to go the 'permanent' route.

I mean I'm not opposed to it, rather be safe than sorry with the flow.
