could this be cut so that it will work in a tank that is 7 inches tall?

Perhaps, but you would certainly not be able to attach gravel sifting attachment. With it on, the fabric bag and impeller would be above the waterline. That would prevent suction pump/impellor from priming and developing suction.

We use it for 6 of our 3-gal tanks. They are 8x8x8 cubes, and we cut only had to cut the fins on the bottom down by about 1/2 inch. If you took off a bit more, you could probably use it in a 7 inch tank, but that might be pushing it... If you cut off too much of the fins, the suction will be impaired. It also depends on how much gravel is in the tank and whether you want to use this only for suction during water changes or actually plunging the gravel. You could definitely shorten the fins and use the pump at an angle and siphon water from a 7 in tank, no problem. Plunging the gravel might be tough... We use it for 6 of our 3-gal tanks.

Yes it can be cut. Make sure it's a clean cut though. also depending how much you take out it will speed the flow up..

It probably could ,but why would you want to do that . Think about it you would have a sterilized filter. You want good bacteria in you filter. Also a valve should be hooked up in front so you can control the flow of return . The slower your tank can handle the better it will work

It could work, but take into acount that the filter is a column attached on one side of the tank that if filled too high with wáter could create a ladder for frogs to scape. It has no heater so depenidng on where you live you may want to order to one that goes inside the filter column. It comes with a top rim cover, that between the filter/light column and the rim, covers almost completely the top part of the tank. I would say it is a good tank for frogs with Little land requirements (it is about 14" diameter by 14" tall).

That certainly is an idea along with something I would consider using my own imagination.However if you trim it to shape. You would be removing the side wall from were you cut. This could affect the filtration through the gravel to the side only that's missing. If you can replace the sides think it would have kick but gravel filtration. Smaller surface area. Stronger flow. Keeps the crap from building up in the gravel. Cleaner tank

No. But you can go to Lowes of Home Depot and get a piece of lean cut to size to do what you're wanting!

no you would have to modify with support.my tank is 12 an 1/2 inches wide,an about 36 long,so it fit nicly on one end an i modifyed a lid to cover the other end.it works so well for my guys,it would be worth it to figure out if you could make a board to fit across the tank to support it.it's light wgt,you could get a peice off plexi glass cut to fit at your local hardware store,just remember to measure to allow for the exit.hope this helps.also it took a wek for them to get use to it an climb up ,then a nother week for them to not be skittish when the were basking,now the love it.

I wouldn't recommend this for that size tank. Unfortunately I couldn't get mine to work, the tank would have to be at least 30 gallons to use it correctly
2083615
yes, but you may get just a couple of nails out before it won't work, not enough air tank space. need more tank mass for this.

I would contact them directly with that question. I have not needed to try cutting it. The one I bought is 60". The Grizzley people I spoke to were very helpful.

It appears on mine that the rod and the two end pieces are separate pieces, so yes, I think you could cut the rod to the size you want (if you know how to do that). Mine looks very nice, by the way.

I'm not sure about this, but I would check the tank's width and look for a similar dimension in a divider specifically designed for aquariums in general. I would think this information would be readily available with some research on Amazon. Hope this is helpful :)

The instructions say cut a hole 4-7/8" wide x 5" high. That's a snug fit. The lip is about another 5/8"s ea. side. Greg

neither could i. ended up cutting my own out of same material. then it died. i bought a normal tank and just ended my affinity for small desktop tanks.

This is meant to rest on a glass lid. If your tank does not have one and you do not wish to buy one, you can have glass cut to fit the lid of your aquarium at your local hardware store. It is very inexpensive to have this done. You can also purchase a pre-made glass aquarium cover.

I would not know why it could not be cut. I would use a box cutter to do it as sissors might have a difficult time doing it.

I believe so. You can purchase a conversion kit that allows you to hook it up to a larger tank. I am not sure of the specs that may be necessary.But you will find others on here who have done it easily. That done - perfect set up!

Yes. This tubing can be easily cut to length with a standard tubing cutter. You need to use the fittings supplied specifically for the tubing as there are at least two manufacturers of CSST products. Each manufacturer has cutting and fitting instructions on their websites.
