Had a decent day of work, and today was going to use my associates 30% christmas discount at petsmart, all was well, got $277 worth of stuff for about $194. Well, after that I had to go to my girlfriend's dad's christmas party - so i was going to put the 3 buenos aires tetras I had got in a bucket with some warm water before we left. Well, my girlfriend was rushing me cuz she didn't wanna be late and said she'd put them in the bucket for me. I told her to make sure to add dechlorinator to the bucket. Well, came home, 3 highly chlorinated dead tetras. BOOOO. And to top that off, I had got an AC70 to add to my 75 gallon, and the thing i didnt even think of? It doesn't fit on the lip of the tank. SWEET. I had also got an AC50 for my 45 gallon so i was thinking okay, I'll put the 70 on my 45 and then take the 50 back, not a huge deal. Well, there's about a quarter inch too little room between the tank and the wall. So basically what was a great day ended up with the 3 fish I got dead and a filter I cannot return. WOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:
 
if i run the filter off the side of the 45 i have to take off the hood i built for it & the light =[ - and i can't bend the filter the part that gets in the way is actually part of a secondary lip on the tank, it's about a quarter inch by a half inch of plastic that i'm trying to find a way to cut or something without cracking the top plastic seam :\
 
I'd have to more or less drain it to safely move it, i'll figure it out i guess :\
 
Sell on CL to make your money back. Don't charge tax and overall you should break a few bucks over or straight even.
 
yeah.. im currently asking a friend for $35 and if i can get that ima go get another AC110 tomorrow morning
 
I've also trimmed the tank frames lip for clearance...

I hear you fitment whoas, I have euro bracing o a non drilled tank, it's hard to find anything that stretches 3" deep into the tank for an inlet to the filter...


Can you get replacement fish for the ones that died? Take them back one by one to other area stores. ;)
