This is just under 1/4" too long for my tank (going by the 23 1/8 msrmnt)... so I'm wondering if it would be possible to somehow trim or file it down?

If you're skilled with glass cutting techniques...maybe? It's pretty strong glass.

The one I purchased fitted perfectly. I did not have to trim. This panel is made of tempered glass, unless you have a very good glass cutter and have experience doing it, I would advise taking it to a professional.

Dave, you'll need to buy some hose and fittings. I converted my tank to 3/8" hose because the unit comes with 1/4" hose output. I used quick connect fittings also so unhooking hoses is a snap.

Yes, it can be shortened. The line "feed" side has a knurled knob which may be tightened at any length of line feed.

It's possible. U have to know ur measurements cause the tank can have a different fit.

Mike: silly question, but did you give the filter an extra push, plus push in the top rubber gasket some more to expose the thread? If this fails then the filter is too long. In that case I would be making an extended threaded mounting post. Or a special nut with a reduced diameter that will go inside the filter and catch the thread. My 10 gallon Craftsman has a 7/16 NC thread. I have the capability at home to manufacture these fixes, but if you do not I am at a loss for other solutions. Hoe about a recessed cup with a flange, then cut a bigger hole in the filter rubber and use a 7/16 nut inside the cup.

my advice would be to measure across and then add 1/4in extra (or to the next size up in dimensions). mine needed just about 1/4 in more to be perfect, although it is still doable even without that bit of slack.

no you would have to modify with support.my tank is 12 an 1/2 inches wide,an about 36 long,so it fit nicly on one end an i modifyed a lid to cover the other end.it works so well for my guys,it would be worth it to figure out if you could make a board to fit across the tank to support it.it's light wgt,you could get a peice off plexi glass cut to fit at your local hardware store,just remember to measure to allow for the exit.hope this helps.also it took a wek for them to get use to it an climb up ,then a nother week for them to not be skittish when the were basking,now the love it.

No - I bought the 72" version and I don't see how you would be able to shorten it. Each end has some hardware in it and it would be very difficult / impossible to cleanly remove it then cut the whole thing to be 66".

Yes you should be able to do that. When you order a new tank like I did the filter replacement was included. Hope this helps you. All the connections on the new tank were the same as the old one. It was an easy swap.

Yes you can, you would just be cutting off most of the coil. You can adjust this unit for any size.

I just measured the opening (indentation? not sure what to call it) that sits on top of the tank, and it is slightly smaller than 13 inches, and by slightly I mean just one or 2 millimeters. It will definitely fit on a tank that is 12 and 3/4 inches.

Its really easy to modify this if it does not fit your tank. check out Youtube.

Each side is a little over 1"... So it will need a little over 1" in clearance inside the tank.

Sorry,I don't really know if there is a safe and sound way to do that. I have purchased down rods a long as 60 inches if you need more than that I would go to the Hunter website and pose your particular problem with length and see if they have a solution.Best regards,Michael

That certainly is an idea along with something I would consider using my own imagination.However if you trim it to shape. You would be removing the side wall from were you cut. This could affect the filtration through the gravel to the side only that's missing. If you can replace the sides think it would have kick but gravel filtration. Smaller surface area. Stronger flow. Keeps the crap from building up in the gravel. Cleaner tank

Yes it should fit, but if not you can make it fit with some minor modifications. Tank size should not make a difference.

It's about 2 and a half inches from the tank to the back of the filter. I would give it at least another half inch or so for a total of 3 inches.
