Can I hang this skimmer on the outside of my tank?

In theory, yes. But it would requite a Ton of mods. I would use the sca-301 for sumps only. If space is an issue, they make small, air-stone powered skimmers that don't require a lot of space. They work best if water level stays constant.

No you cannot hang it since the solar unit is on the top and it is not permanently attached. There is nothing to attach it to.

We have ours in pool and are very happy with it, have it anchored to deck which surrounds our pool. Only problem I could see to having it outside would be how to anchor it to pool. Maybe it could just set by poolyou weigh it down with sand in tubes, but the arms for anchoring it would stick out in pool would need to cut them off. This might be a question for manufacturer.

Yes you can.. you are able to use this skimmer in sump, that will increase the your aquarium volume option up to 150gal.

I use it hanging from the side of the tank. You can monitor it better. I was afraid if it was under gravel or any rocks it might melt or make the rocks or gravel hot.

As is...it needs to be in the sump. However, you can make it an external pump by elevating the skimmer itself, and hanging the pump over the edge of the tank in the water.

well i think that you could. But if you can fit a little bigger skimmer in your sump than get something more efficient. In my opinion this skimmer is best for aquariums with limited room. Unless water gets really dirty, it wont pull much.Having realistic expectation is the key to happiness... Hope that helps ;-)

From what I understood/remember, you can put it directly into the tank, in the water. (I have mine in a hood) You could also lay in at base behind tank or "rig/tape" to top of tank outside/back perhaps?

The filter mounts on the outside, only the intake tube and the output waterfall are in the tank. I use it for fish so I can't address it for frogs however I use Youtube quite a bit and hopefully this video might be of assistance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWiVQjZQNbA

yes, find a way to hang the transducer over the side, make sure its parallel with the bottom. use a small 12V 7AH SLA battery to power it up and go Fishing.

It hangs over the side. The long tube & the lip and the waterfall are inside edge of the tank. The impeller & filter are on the outside edge.

Yes, you can hang it from a tree outside however, you should probably not leave it exposed to the elements.

Absolutely, I have fluval C3 hanging on mine. You will have to cut the plastic extender strip but that's it.

no, theirs no need to be hung...depending on you're aquarium you might need to purchase mounting stan wich are sold separately at ebay.

I don't think you can. It attaches to the end of vac. I don't see how it can be attached to the skimmer but You should probably ask the provider.

Mine is wall-mounted but I can't see any reason you couldn't hook it to the side of the tank. In fact, it could be easy to arrange and less obvious to the casual observer.

I suppose you can in an indirect way. I don't think there's an attachment on the bottom to do it, but if you rig a pole so that the bird feeder would hang from it, that should work. I have a suet feeder as well that hangs from an iron pole that I got at Big Lots. That pole I think was designed to hang plants, but there's no reason you couldn't use it for this bird feeder.
