For the PF40, how much space do I need between the tank and the wall? It says depth is 6.5 inches but that would be just huge?

The height of the PF40 looks like 6.0 inches. The distance between the back of the PF40 and the tank wall where it is hanging is 3.25 inches. Hope this helps. Good luck.

6.5" is the overall depth of the body of the filter. You'll need 3" minimum, preferably 4+ inches clearance from top of aquarium glass/frame to whatever goes above, in order to facilitate removing all for cleaning or just removing the filter without having to dismantle it completely. Hope it helps.

Don't remember exact dimensions but it is just slightly smaller than tank itself. Plenty of room for a solid 6" part....hope that helps.

I just bought one and it says for tanks up to 12 inches deep. I bought another one and I will return this one.

The tank longways will fit without feet between the trim on a 48" tank and the feet perch just over the edge of a trimmed 48" tank. My 75 gallon is exactly 48.25" edge to edge including trim, but the feet will slide along the side to fit a smaller tank. The light is 6 and 7/8" wide with the feet and 4.75" wide without them. The cord also extends out the back of the enclosure, not the side- so if you're putting it in a canopy, you'll have to account for the cord if it's a tight fit width-wise.

I measured mine and its exactly 3 1/2" of space behind the tank. This leaves about 1/4" play it you have to remove it. You could get away with less if you leave the cover off!

Just measured mine. You are correct, there is a extension that goes out side the wall that's almost 2 inches. You will need 3 3/4 inches in depth. You are close enough that you may be able to use this unit by installing it with the 3 1/2 depth you have and using some white caulk around the edges for the 1/4 inch space you may have, other wise you may need to find a diff product.

I no longer have the tank, but it is extremely small. If you look to the outside dimensions, it appears to have a nice foot print with ample "floor space", but you will lose approximately 3-4" on the rear side to accommodate an inadequate filter system. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS TANK FOR ANY REASON.

I don't see that info on the box. What I can tell you is I have this for my 120 gallon tank that is about 4 feet wide, 2 feet from front to back and about 40 inches deep. The pump sits about 2 feet below the tank and is strong enough to make two 4 inch bubble disks look like two huge columns of air. It is also exceptionally quiet. Hope this helps.

You will need 3" of clearance, it is 5.5" total but part of that sticks into the aquarium.

Hey Jeff,The dimensions for 75/90 Gallon tanks are usually 6 inches wider (front to back) than that of the 55 Gallon tanks. I personally know this because I have both a 55 gallon and 90 gallon tanks in my home. If you have a 55 gallon, Amazon also has the 55 gallon stand: Aquatic Fundamentals 55 Gallon Upright Aquarium StandPersonally, for the price, these (manually put together) stands are solidly strong and a steal of a deal. I would easily consider picking up another one if the opportunity arises.Hope this helps.

Make sure to check the dimensions of your existing aquarium to ensure this will fit in it, but otherwise it "should work. I'm always a fan of having a little extra filtration capacity, since if the filter is rated for 15 gallons (as this one is) that's assuming its clean and operating normally. Getting the PF25 would give you a little extra filtration and flow in your tank. Those are just my thoughts. I really liked the idea and concept of this filter and it seemed to work fine for me, I just couldn't get it to fit under my aquarium shroud, so I ended up returning and got a secondary fiter to support the primary one. UV is definitely a good thing for your aquarium though! Make sure to check the dimensions of your existing aquarium to ensure this will fit in it, but otherwise it "should work.

You could probably get up to like a 29 gallon sump under it. The top platform is like 18x48. Minus a couple inches you could say the inside of the bottom wood panel has about 15x44 inches of space conservatively. I haven't measured but this is an educated guess. The thing is you will have to assemble the unit by sitting the tank on the bottom platform after putting together the bottom and the sides of the unit, and then assembling the top. A 20 gal long tank would fit under it comfortably. The 29 would leave like a foot of space between the top panels and the top of the tank. I think the stand is about 30 to 33 inches high.

hello there, you don't need much of space, mine sat under the sink easily. the storage tank is about 18 inch high and 11 inch wide, the filters together will sit on 6 inches wide and about 11 inches high all together.

The tank is 7 1/2" tall, 5"wide with the mounting bracket it's 6" wide and it's 3 1/2" deep, it will hole 1/3 of a gallon (1.25 liters) It was too tall for mounting vertical for my small Nissan 720 truck, only way for me to mount it would have been on a 45 degree angle and too close to engine.

It is 29 1/2 inches from the wall to the very front of the bowl after installation. The back of the tank is just under 2" from the wall at the bottom of the tank, however, it is less at the top if you are measuring with the tank cover on. That is why I measured from the wall to the very front of the bowl.

I bought the 24" for my 30 gal tank. It said 24"-36" I believe. The light was 24" and the legs extended out the sides so it would fit up to 36". Great light but if you have a 77" tank I doubt that 48" will work for you.
