Question
can i cut my undergravel filter to fit my tank

Answer
Hi Gary

I just pulled your question from our question pool. I'm sorry for the lengthy delay in getting an answer to you.

Undergravel filters are made specifically for the size aquarium you have. If you bought one that is too large, you should exchange it for one that will fit your tank. Cutting it could leave particles behind that will harm your fish.

Hope this helps,

Richard
