Cant get it fully pressed against the back so leaves a small gap, think thatll be an issue? Or should I cut silicone globs on the top to push further back?Go with the peninsula.
How did you position the returns? I feel it kinda takes some space in the center and leaves the returns a bit close to the front of the tankI did mine in the center, I have the 29g as well. But for my location the peninsula style would have been harder to maintain. The globs of extra silicone in the top corners can certainly be trimmed, I trimmed my corners, but just be careful with your razor blade because it's an awkward angle you need to get in to get those upper corners.
If you’re still on the fence about this don’t be mine sat mostly flush on the back of my tank and a nice thick bead of silicone working so far. Didn’t even use half a tube…. Also for anyone wondering for skimmers on these a little finagling and using the hang on back bracket for the Ice Cap K1-50 i got it to work almost perfectly.I just purchased one of these for 50 gallon breeder. I haven't purchased my tank yet because I'm hoping it will go on sale at petco next month.
According to the measurements from the filter and the interior of the 40 breeder I looks like there is almost a 1" difference in size. I thought that was a bit extreme. Directions say to fill those gaps in with silicone, BUT THATS A LOT OF SILICONE!
What's your experience with it friend? Was there a large gap between the aio insert and the glass of the tank?
I have a tidal 75 in mine rn. Keep seeing the aio and was curious about it.I suppose you could possibly use magnets but not sure if I would trust it not moving around on you. Is it possible for you to use some hang on back filters?
