I have a 50 gallon tank with a 2 inch rim at the top. Will this filter fit my tank?

On my unit which is a C2 the "smaller version" on a 20 Gallon long tank, the part that goes into the aquarium extends downward for about 3/4 inch, about a inch for the spill way, but my aquarium glass comes all the way up on the inside to within the thickness of the plastic (about a quarter inch) The rest of the unit hangs on the outside with no problem. check that 2" measurement and see if that rim is only on the outside, Gman.

No. The gap on this filter is 1 inch. A standard top frame is about 3/4 inch. Sounds like you have a custom tank with a 2 inch rim. I don't know of any HOB filters with that size gap. You'll either have to cut a notch or consider a canister type filter that just has hoses for intake and return. These have a bent tube with a radius that would accomodate a wide rim.

It won't fit your tank. My recommendation would be to get a canister filter. You will have more control over filtration, water flow and currents. Canister filters also work better and are more efficient than a hang on back.

I have the C4 which could accommodate a 1 3/4 inch rim, so my guess is probably not.

No it will not. The size was way weird. I would find the name on your old filter and google who sells it. Amazon did charge me a restocking fee of these that I return =(

Yes it will , I am using the same one on a 55 gallon tank and it works great !

I have the PF40, so I can't tell you anything about the PF25. I have had the PF40 on a 47G column tank and a 55G tank (barely fit the 55G). If you buy the filter rated for your tank size, it will fit. The PF25 is rated for aquariums up to 25 gallons. If you need it for a tank bigger than a 30 gallon, I'd buy a bigger filter size.

Not sure. My model is 50255. Don't know what your model looks like. I just took measurements of my old filter and matched it with measurements of one shown on Amazon. Good luck.

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.

I have a 55 gallon tank and 2 works perfect. Comes with the whole top. Popped the old one out and new ones fit right in

If your tank has the two studs, and the bolt that screws into the front of the tank, it will fit.

The thickness of your tank edge also needs to be taken into consideration. Thicker edges will make the filter sit higher. But if you have low clearance, you may also have a problem having access to changing the filter cartridge since it needs to slide upward and towards the front. Buy one at a local Petsmart and try it out. If it does not fit, return it for a refund. If it does work, still return it for a refund and buy on line to save some money.

Yes, it definitely should fit. And I highly recommend that filter. I believe it to be the best of quality for the price.

JP, if the dimensions of the top of the tank are 20 by 18 then you should have no problem. I have a column tank that is 47 gallons but those were the dimensions for the top of it and fits perfect! Good luck and hope it works for you!

Depending on the size of the tank I I would say yes if its larger then a 50 gallon. If 50 50 gallon or smaller just put it in the middle.

The outside dimensions of my aquarium is 30 X 12 1/2" the same as the other answer. I think it will fit.

My Whisper 60 fit perfectly over the lip of my tank behind the aquarium. It should fit your aquarium with no problems. I've had no problems and the filter is really quiet.Jim.

It would probably be great for that size tank. The instructions are worthless but even still it's not difficult to setup. It's a really good filter for the price

It will cover 1/2 of the tank. You will need to order 2 of them. I have them on my 55 gal tank.

There is no problem in using a filter bigger than what you need. Every model has a limit, as long the model is for a bigger tank than you have is OK.
