I am currently in the process of setting up a new 75 gallon planted tank but have run into an obstacle. I'm hoping some of you might have some input on this:
The top of the water level is approximately 37 inches off the ground. I was running an xp3 on this, however it is having problems running. It indicated that the water level should be at least 24" from the top of the filter...and it is only 20". This is clearly a flaw in my stand design, but not something I can fix right now.
What other options do I have for filters in this situation?
1. I could go with 3 XP1s ($180 total).
2. I could try a combination of XP1s and HOT Magnums...but I'm not sure if the magnum would fit on the tank. (perhaps a slightly less expensive alternative...)
3. ...I don't know.
The 75 is too thick for aquaclears to fit on the back. I'm not sure how big the opening is on the 110, but the 50 and 70 are too small.
Can anyone help me out with some alternatives?
