Weight of Reef Octo HOB Skimmer?

[tuggerlake26]

This might be a silly question, but should I be concerned about the weight of a Reef Octopus HOB skimmer on my tank? Yes, I realize these were specifically designed to hang on a tank, but it just seems like a lot of weight.

I have been looking at the Reef Octopus Classic 90 and 100 HOB skimmers for my new IM 50 Lagoon. From my measurements it *seems* they will fit. But just seems like a lot of weight/pressure on one side of the tank.

I am probably overthinking, but looking for some feedback!

I ran one for years. Not quite sure what you might be asking but I'd like to help if I can.

I wouldn't worry about it putting stress in the tank. I had one and ran it for awhile. It's not an issue
