I'd love to get something like the eshopps PF-1200 for my 180g so I can ultimately get a sump and rid myself of my canister filter.
My tank has these annoying glass braces at the top on each side (I assume they are to help hold lids since they don't seem to provide any structural support).
My tank is a 180g peninsula so I want the HOB to be located on one of the sides (not the back). My glass is tempered.
Some questions:
1. Can the glass brace be cut or is it also tempered? (Would a side brace be tempered for some reason?) This would allow me to hang the HOB overflow off the side of my tank as desired.
2. Can I perhaps customize an HOB such that the interior box is fixed to the glass inside the tank, a vinyl or silicone tube snakes from the interior box, up around the glass brace, and drains into the overflow mounted outside the tank? Trying to reduce my headache but these braces are making that difficult.
I know it's tricky to explain. I'll try to provide some photos tomorrow morning.
Does anyone have these side braces at the top of their tank like I do?
