I have a 20 gallon long shrimp tank. The depth is only about 6 inches. How high does this sit? I want to make sure it's submerged fully.

It will be completely submerged is fine in my 5 gallon will go down about halfway in your tank

The two sponge filters and the black T are about 5 inches tall. The outlet tube is adjustable from about 5 and a quarter inches to about 8. If you place the black T on the bottom of your tank, and do not have substrate, or submerge the T portion in substrate, you should be fine.

you can have the sponges fully submerged but you wont be able to have the neck of it in only 6 inches. you will have a water fall effect. which in my case is lovely. :D

It stands approx. 5 inches tall. You can mount the filter with the lower tubes touching the bottom of the tank. The bubble exhaust is also adjustable. Very nice filter for fry and shrimp. I'm also using a 20 gallon long, filled to the top, still with 6 inches, you should be fine. Hope this helps.

As far as substrate goes, the deeper the better. Most people recommend at least two inches deep. That said, I have a 20gal long, which is basically 2-ten gallons side by side and I used 2 bags. But the substrate isn't as deep as I'd like. In your case, I'd get two bags just to be safe, and that way you'll have more hardscaping options as well. If you choose to get two bags, I'd recommend a bag of the gravel as a base, and a bag of the sand as a topper. Bigger plants will root better to the gravel and you get more room down there for the good bacteria to grow. By the way, this stuff is fantastic. Rinse it well and you won't be disappointed.

Hard to answer... size of shrimp...aeration volume, etc.... I might suggest running it by your nearest "bait & tackle" shop and asking them. Hope this helped.

first make sure o rings are in place as instructed, could be not tight enough. You may be overfilling unit it is not four gallon it is 3 gallon in bottom tank. top tank is not a holding tank as far as I can tell because there are no rubber seals between them hope this helps

I have a 10 gallon on top. The bottom is narrower so a 10 gallon won't fit. Maybe a 5 gallon on bottom.

I just went out and measured mine - mine is not quite full to the brim and measures exactly 1 inch deep in the deepest part of the middle, so maybe 1 and a half inches when full. It's not as deep as it looks, it's a nice shallow bird bathing depth.

I use sand and I have about 10 pounds of sand but I have a fish stand. I would not recommend placing this 6 gallon tank on a desk or shelf because 6 gallons of water I think is about 48 pounds plus 10lbs of sand anda few rocks will make it over 60lbs. If you are not going to fill the tank all the way then I would recommend doing about half (3 gallons and about 5lbs of sand) on a desk or shelf. I really like this tank and also remember its acrylic = easy to scratch.

I put the dimensions in an answer above - it may be tight, but it could fit. You'll want a little extra room around the sides and between the bottom of the tank and the bottom of the filter for proper water flow. You mentioned the tank being cloudy - is it a planted aquarium? I ask because we had the same issue and it was a two part problem. First I reduced the light cycle to only 6 hours a day for two weeks. The other half of the problem was that I was adding organic carbon late in the light cycle, feeding the organisms at top and turning our water cloudy. You need to add it right when the light comes on to help avoid this. I put the dimensions in an answer above - it may be tight, but it could fit.

The space between the ramp and back wall of our tank is about 5". We have ours butted up against the back of our tank. You could easily shift it out an inch and give yourself a very wide 6" margin for it to swim past.

My tank is 18.5 wide and 20.5 long I measure from the outside of tank. Fill it up one gallon at a time then you will know what size tank you have..... :)

It's about 10.5 inches long and 1 inch wide. I have mine in my 3 gallon pico tank and all but 4.5 inches are submerged. It is doing a REALLY good job! Hope this helps.Keep in mind that the temp sensor is separate. I have mine set about 2.5 inches from the heater, behind the water return.

When purchasing a turtle tank I was concerned on it being one of those long aquarium tanks that I had seen elsewhere but it fits nicely on my stand that holds up to a standard 20 gallon tank. This tank measures 24 inches long by 16 inches tall and 12 inches wide. Depending on the type of filter you have you may want to add another inch to the height (so about 17 inches) if the filter is meant to hang on the edge of the tank, it will cause the lid to sit a bit higher up and unevenly on one side, but it still works fine.

As much as you set it under. Depending on how much you fill the bucket with water/solution. There is a water level tube for you too see where its at. Hard to go wrong. You want to start with the water higher and touching substrate and work your way down a little when roots grow into the reservoir to give them an air gap.

Judythis cap has a short range the float can travel, it fit my 6 gal fine. Unless your tank is approx. 10" deep, it don't think it will work.

I can make an educated guess. my tank is 20". But the extra length is 4", but not much more. So measure carefully.
