Is it possible to use this with a HOB filter?

No allowances for HOB filter from back, it would allow for small filter inside tank with tube or wire up back at corners of lid, space visible in photo.

Unless you cut out a portion of the screen and frame, this will not work with an HOB filter. I use an internal Whisper filter and the screen has just enough leeway to fit over the clip that the filter hangs from.

No, not as it is. You would have to use a wire cutter and cut a piece of the frame and the wire screen. It should still be sturdy enough. I would think cutting it would be the main problem, end up mangling it up if you don't have a good wire cutter.

Yes, but the unit will have to be positioned horizontally at that shallow water depth. You can remove the bracket and lay the filter directly on the bottom of the tank to make the profile shallower. This unit is larger than most people expect, but as long as the vents on the side are covered with water, you should be fine.

Most likely. It comes with a pretty decent filter and you can use a filter bag, the two together would be pretty good filtration.

The answer is "no." The filters I use have threads have threads on both sides. Most of them do so this shouldn't be a problem.

Yes, it is possible. Filter rinses clean and I have been using the one it came with for 3 months. I plan on changing the filter every 6 months if possible.

There is no problem in using a filter bigger than what you need. Every model has a limit, as long the model is for a bigger tank than you have is OK.

It probably could ,but why would you want to do that . Think about it you would have a sterilized filter. You want good bacteria in you filter. Also a valve should be hooked up in front so you can control the flow of return . The slower your tank can handle the better it will work

As far as I can see , NO. There are no threads or way to attach filter.Hope this helps.

I don't see why not. Although I had to retro - fit this to my bosch with some rubber tubing from home depot. Works very well, but the bigger the shop vac the better. You have to keep stopping to shake out the filter.

Yes as long as you have the closing valve vertically. Make sure the filter is placed so you can change it.

Yes you can, it opens up and you can place any filter medium you wish. I will gladly answer anymore questions you may have.

I am no expert on the subject, but I think so. I can't see why not since both filters do primarily the same thing.

I don't see why you couldn't although I live the media that comes with it... I just added them to the tank for a few weeks before taking the old filter out

Yes you can. We have been using this filter with our handheld shower for more than a year. Works great!

Yes I have that housing and it takes that size filter, but it is a tight fit so you might not be able to use the gasket that comes with the filter if it is too thick.

I use this in conjunction with an over the top filter. I guess it would depend if the filter media was cycled with good bacteria and how many fish you have.

I'd say no. With the bottom base removed, it is 8 inches (maybe a bit shy of 8 inches) from base to the bottom of the filter cup. It would be a very tight fit if you were able to get it under there.
