So you don't need to know how tall my filter is?  

lol, yes... If aquaclear doesn't fit I may have to go a different route.

Just slightly under 1".

In guessing everyone is hanging their filter on the side? Lol

Tunze pump silence 

sounds like an 80’s band

 

 

How are you going to mount the light?

Yessir, Just some odds and ends, bits and pieces. Needed a new gravel tube for cleaning/water changes, and I'm getting an auto feeder for the other tank I'm going to set up. But one where I can control the specific dosage for 12 or 14 meals total, so not as long between refilling, but more finely tuned as far as portions

 

And 6 HOB filters...lol.... Impulse purchase

Thanks, that might be my play if the aqua clear 20 doesn't fit.

It's a little noisy...  Though maybe no noisier than my Azoo Mignon 60.  My no name brand pump is WAY noisy tho so together super noisy.  -_-

 

Flow is pretty good tho for a tiny pump.

Hanging filters to side team.

I'm gonna stuff it in like a chipotle burrito. If it doesn't fit fully assembled, I will take the top off of prime.

I'm definitely doing side, but it does make light mounting more challenging.  The HOB is tiny tho so maybe I can fit it all on one side.

I’m still waiting to see if my design will be fine for my HOB 🤦‍♂️ I don’t want to have to make it bigger to accommodate the pump

Why not do a hanging light?

I cant believe these small pumps make so much noise, my 300 gallon  was dead silent.  My EVOreef is sooooo loud, that's why I got the 80's tunze lol.

Yeah. It's terrible. The collective humming sound might make me go cray.  I may need to upgrade the powerhead to something quieter, but it will likely be bigger cuz my ph is tiny af.
