I have an aqua one tank which has rims and brace. I was wondering if I can put an hang on filter on the tank. I am wanting to get get an aquaclear 110.

    It should be ok, I used to have a couple of HOB's on a 3ft tank until I swapped for a canister. What is the size of the tank? Edit: you might be better off with a canister filter.
    Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes & dreams.

    Tank size is 4 ft x 18 x 18. I currently have an aquamanta 1200 running on the tank. I want to switch to a HOB because my canister in my books is not energy efficient. It is a 55 watts to run.

    I forgot to ask, is this for your Goldfish tank? if so get yourself a power efficient canister like the one I mentioned above.
