I simply moved the overflow bottle to under the seat where the old filter was. Found that space filled up with water too easily and too small for useful storage, although I keep my spare house keys in there (shhh) and the Dobeck lives there in a water tight container (zip bag!!!!).
All I did was awap the overflow bottle hoses over and it reaches there easily and the short one pokes into the left tin (will extend it when I get to it). The bottle sits nicely in there is stays upright even without 'padding'. Couldn't see the point of spending $60+ on a metal bottle that wouldn't be seen anyway. This cost exactly $0 and took around 3 minutes to do.
I moved it mainly because, with the filters angled the same as you have to angle the back one, the front one was resting so close to it I thought it might have reduced the air flow - probably didn't, but now they all strand clear and I love the look when I take the claw off.
