I have a 75 gallon tank and plan on using a Aquaclear 110 HOB filter, however I have somewhat limited wall space and I have heard the AQ's need about 4 inches of clearance off the back of the tank. Is it possible to attach them to the side of the tank?

Thanks

It should be fine. You may want to get a Power head to push the water around from the other end.

I think you might run into problems with your top not fitting. If your top fits then do it but go with a powerhead to push water to the filter from the far end.

I have a AC110 on the side of a 75g tank, water circulates fine. I have a glass top so it no longer fits. But the glass from a 16x20 picture frame fits near perfect.

You can attach it to any side you like.

Doesn't matter where you put it.You'll just have to improvise a top to accommodate it.
