Panty Hose is very good this can be held in place by a rubber band.

I think Bob Wesolowski uses them. You could maybe use one of these and frequently just detach them for cleaning. Hope this helps, Ingo Proud Member of the New Jersey Aquatic Gardeners Club

It should fit perfectly onto the end of the intake tube of the 300. http://www.bigalsonline.com/catalog/product.xml?product_id=29021;category_id=2577 Here's the link where I got the idea from: http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/power_filter_tricks_iii.php
