Is this a hang on the side of the aquarium filter????

Yes it hangs on the side and needs about 4 inch clearance behind tank from wall.

There is only one way for the filter to fit. There is a cutout at the top that has to fit where there is a piece of plastic on the unit. Black side out, white side toward unit

Its a Sponge filter!! so it stretches. This will fit on any hang on the back or canister filter. Seriously buy it.

The filter is located on the right side, near the front. Just pull it out and clean it.

No, I keep a betta in it and he's very happy. I keep the filter on low and he sometimes rests right under the intake.

There is a bracket on the fan itself where you can screw/bolt it down, however there is no provided way of hanging the filter, I bought straps made for hanging duct work for a couple dollars and it works well. The filter comes filled with charcoal so you don't have to buy anything to fill it up. I cant see a way to add or remove charcoal from it though, regardless it will last a while. so far it has worked well for me. Any other questions I'll be glad to help, I bought mine about a month ago and have had no problems so far running it 24/7

It can be positioned vertical or horizontal..... It can be placed completely under water. Ours is placed horizontal more than half way down in the tank.It is a real space saver compared to other filters.

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.

The part of the filter that hangs outside of the aquarium is apx. 3" to 4" thick. You may want to give yourself a few more inches for the space.

No Jane, it does not. You are probably looking at the wrong filter as there is no place for a handle, or screw for that matter on the filter itself.

it should be hung vertically otherwise you will spill lots of water when you change the filter. :-)

On my 75 gal aquarium this left a 2" gap at the back there are plastic covers to go there if you have a jumper like I do but it can be cut around a hang on filter I have a drilled tank so no need for me

No. These are very small and made for smaller hang over the back of tanks filter systems. The opening is in the top of the sponge and fits tightly over the end of the plastic intake inside of the tank. It has an opening that fits approx an 1 inch tube in the top of the sponge. A nylon cut to size with rubber bands over each end or bottom end tied and rubber band over the top to hold it on tightly, works great.

Yes, there is a hook on the inside of the lid so it will just hang off to the side.

I am sure that is possible. The unit we use has two nice filters. Honestly with about six small fish we have only changed filters about three times. So maybe four times a year. Which is not bad. Great little tank. The filter unit hangs on the edge so that is all you need if you wanted to upgrade something that will connect to side or top lip. We actually had a problem with the light unit. I had to buy one to attach to the side. I was able to cut the plastic cover and make room for addition.

Unless you have a different model, the attachment should allow for male threaded side of the filter to screw into. There is a short stem protruding, but that slides inside the center of the threaded male side of the filter. A hose with a male swivel end will screw into the other side of the filter and go on to the 20 pound tank.
