OK, got the double heater module in the mail yesterday and it is HUGE! Luckily, I have a taller stand and even then it may be a squeeze. Was checking the dimensions again seeing if I could use a single but they only take heaters 12" long (probably a heater <200 watts) which wouldn't be big enough for my 130 even with the inline hydor
.
OK, here's the trouble, the directions are a joke. Here's a link to the instructions provided:

They put in the box a couple of fittings and some teflon tape, but how does this all go together? I decided to also get a single chemical module yesterday, so it'll be attached too. Does anybody have first hand experience putting these things together? Do I need to glue or is it secure (leak free) with just compression and tape? (this scares me especially if there is any back pressure anytime down the line). Instead of the Quiet one pump, I'm getting an Eheim 1060 pump (but I also have a Mag 5 pump too). Also, does the top of the heater stick out of the heater module? How much goes in and will that rubber O ring deteriorate after a while being exposed to the hot heater?
Any help with this thing will be appreciated!
