yup clips are overkill. Ive fixed intake hose with suckercups and it doesnt move around. To drill the unit id have to empty tank cuz Its
so heavy!! Glass 1.5" thick in places & unit/hood are solid beech. Even my musclehead brother couldnt fit hood by himself. I could try using Eheim hoses but they will still have to be fed through the hole in the canopy and run across that partion. The FLUVAL hoses in their current position work fine, so as long as they dont get damaged, I may as well leave them where they are? Ill have to make more holes in the hood if I need to run anything else into the aquarium i guess. XTRA-LONG tongs are gunna be essential! I gotta view it first from the front at ground level, then get up on the ladders to plant or alter stuff. The view from the top is really distorted so you cant judge what yr doing from up there. When I was planting it wasnt just wet elbows i had either!How I didnt fall right in I'll never know!
