hey mfk!

this may be a really nooby question. does a external canister filter have to be below the tank???

my problem is i am planning a huge plywood build. i already have a 4 foot and 7 foot standard glass fish tanks. but i want bigger. there is one little thing thats in the way, THE MISSUS!!!!!!!!!

she has said im not allowed to take up any more space with tanks. so if im not allowed to take up any more space with tanks, i will just replace things like our tv unit with one, ha ha, she should have read the small print in her comment. the tv stand in roughly 3 foot high, so i cant go much higher, so there is no way im going to get a 2 foot high tank and my cannister filter in 3 foot of hieght. can i just put it next to it?
 
it will be below the water line, just not below the bottom of the tank.

At or below the water line is fine for all the canisters I've used
