Will filter work if tilted horizontally, as in a very small tank?

i think it will but you can also just take off the arm attachment and so that it is not as tall.

Im not sure that it will because of the electronics inside and the flow of the water into the filter. But what this doesn't tell you is that the bar is removable and there's a smaller attachment for the filter to flow the water back into the tank. I used it in a 1.5 gallon tank and it worked great. Hope this helps.

The filter works fine horizontally or vertically. I used it in a 2.5 gal tank with no problems. If you remove the spray bar, the filter takes up very little space

Yes, the filter can go all the way under the water. And the flow can be directed which way to go. The extension wand is very nice. My Betta doesn't get thrown around. And you can set it to high or low.

I am sure that is possible.The unit we use has two nice filters. Honestly with about six small fish we have only changed filters about three times. So maybe four times a year. Which is not bad. Great little tank. The filter unit hangs on the edge so that is all you need if you wanted to upgrade something that will connect to side or top lip.We actually had a problem with the light unit. I had to buy one to attach to the side. I was able to cut the plastic cover and make room for addition.

There are a variety of filters available in the 4.5x20" size. All of them will work. You need to choose for yourself based on your filtering needs. I get mine here:http://123filter.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=64_32

The material side faces UP when you put the filter into the cup.....the foam side faces down.

I just bought a new filter at Petsmart. As long as you get a smaller size one that goes inside the tank, it should work.

Yes, that is the best way to install is vertical. You can see dimensions on our website. afwfilters

No, there is no way to do so. It is one speed, but I had the filter in the corner of my 5 gallon tank without any disturbance to my fish - you may want to try positioning the filter in a different spot in your tank.

Not very well. It takes two filters. One side fits well. The other side won't "seat" in the groves.

My filter holder is correct in all aspects, vertical and horizontal. The holders rim is flat and a near perfect circle. Same for the base. No problems so far.

I wouldn't use it in such a small tank. I got this filter for my 5 gallon tank and it fits perfectly so a 1 gallon tank sounds like it would be too small. It is a nice filter though! :)

Unless you have a different model, the attachment should allow for male threaded side of the filter to screw into. There is a short stem protruding, but that slides inside the center of the threaded male side of the filter. A hose with a male swivel end will screw into the other side of the filter and go on to the 20 pound tank.

Not with the extension most certenly, maybe without. Helps if filter is clean as (Benjamin H) said, but abit difficult to keep filter clean and the basket that holds filter is weak.

I believe this filter might be too small. I use it for the 5 gallons whisper quiet pump.

No - it will be too small both in height and width. Get the 185 specific filters - http://www.amazon.com/Kalita-Filter-Dripper-Persons-50x3-box/dp/B003WMBEFI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421354489&sr=8-1&keywords=kalita+wave+185

Yes, I have used it that way. Won't filter as fast as the gravity made kind in my experience, but works none the less.
