would this be strong enough to move water down 8" through a 4" round 3' Canister Filter then back up 20" back to tank

Looks like 17-1/2" would work from bottom of tank (stand included) to the top lifted and able to remove. Might get away with 17-1/4" but go with 17-1/2".

It probably would. If not, switching to another canister only takes moments. You might consider an adapter hose and 5 gallon tank.

Hi, I agree with other comments. I would suggest that you would need to cover most of the base area in order to get adequate filtration circulation for the tank size.

Yup it working for my 30g anemone/lps tank. I don't think the flow is SPS strong, but flow is great. Keep in mind that my tank has almost no rocks with a return pump of 500gph. Perhaps you can keep one of the koralia. Let me know if you have questions.

Yes, i have a 1300 pump better read the limits. Dont want to push the filter to the limit went gets a lot of junk inside will slow down and pressure will built inside

I'm not sure the small pump will lift water that high. Changing and cleaning the filter, however, is the bigger question. I don't think I want to be swimming in 3 to 4 feet of Pondwater every time the filter needs cleaned. I think these work best in 2 feet of water.

I would say yes. We put it around the top of our pump that we have to screw on and off to change filters and it really helped to make it easier to twist on and off.

I'm sure it would if you have a neck down section of hose. The filter is only a flow through filter. It is siced for 2 in on both ends.

Yes it will work but will flow more water on high speed. I use high to flush the filter.

Mine comes out strong except when I have all 8 on . If you are having low pressure with 4 then it may be the unit.

It would have to be a huge frig. It is not applicable for this use. It is however the best filter we as a family have ever had.

I think it would. Several factors matter though. Resistance other than gravity , size of pipe used and how fast a flow you are expecting. It wont be a fast flow.

It would probably work but it's a big filter. You probably need something much smaller it looks are important

Yes, it will work fine in that application... but it does require enough room in the basin / tank to move up and down from its pivot / attachment point to activate... not generally an issue.... just never sure of customers application... but feel free to call with questions. CSH 989-723-8985 Dan

No, the filter won't be able to pull the water up into the filter box. You may want to look into getting a Whisper in tank filter. They're made for turtle tanks.

I am using it on my 5-gallon hex tank and it works great! I previously had a smaller filter (rated at 45gph) that was just not doing the job.
