Hi, I was wondering if you can use a FX6 canister filter on a tank with euro bracing? I searched on here and seen people doing it with drilled tanks but I don't really want to drill my tank. Thanks!
FX6 on tank with euro bracing?

easiest solution is to use an eheim 2262, then the canister wont break down on you!! (sorry for that)
joking aside surely you could make something with PVC pipe that would allow you not to drill the tank?
Thanks for the reply that's probably what I will do.

Mine did come with media,I sold it and bought what I wanted.
Essentially traded Eheim Mech to Eheim Mech pro, and Eheim substrate to marine pure.

I made a custom pvc plumbing set to replace the crappy set that came with my sunsun.
Don't mind the camouflage lol.
Same concept except I used 1/2" pvc and you'd probably need 1" and a wider run at the 2 elbows to clear the eurobrace.
My tank that those canisters is on is over 20 years old and im replacing it this month. before I do I'm drilling 2 3/4" holes in the new tank near the bottom trim for my canister plumbing (input). You could always do that too.

If you go with the Fx6 , then you will need to make a custom designed PVC that goes around the brace. i've seen it before it's a simple easy thing to accomplish. Also I am running 2 FX6 and do not have ANY issues. All of my issues have come from using Eheim. So i stopped and have been happier since.
