I need help with attaching my MP40 to my cylinder tank’s curve surface. Does any one know if there is a way to make that possible? :D

I don’t think it’s possible.
Not possible
Well, I’m actually made it works and the tank is cycling smoothly with the two MP40 running on opposite sides of the tank.

Wow! Impressive! How did you manage that? Are the magnets just strong enough to hold the wetside in place? Well done.

Yes, the magnets are strong enough to hold the wetsides in place, I only need to cut small pieces of filter flosses in a curve shape follows the curve of the tank and putting them in between the dry and wetsides to prevent scratches and cracks :D

I once seen a bread where the guy put his vortechs on the bottom of his tank(BB). He the put 90° elbows on on the tops of the wet side to direct the flow however he liked it. Very interesting.

I like the ingenuity, long term you might want to hit up someone on the 3D printing forum to print you something out. The filterfloss will start to catch a lot of stuff over time. You will be good if you swap it out but a simple 3D printed piece to make it sit flush could lessen the maintenance needed, which would be nice for you. :)
