How far into the tank does the 30 gallon go the slit for for my filter is only 1.5 inches

The Aqueon Quietflow filter extends about 2 inches into the tank and is about 8 inches long. Put the hood on the tank and check the measurements for the filter opening again.

Yes. The wand and nozzle is about a foot (or more) long and should be fine for your 30 gallon tank. My tank is only about a foot deep and there's plenty of wand that never gets wet when I clean my gravel.

This filter is 4 inches wide. I'm guessing that the slot for your filter is not that wide, since you've been using 1-inch wide filters; but you can check. I change my filter once or twice a year.

I have the tank mounted on a shelf in the basement right below the sink so I only lose the space for the filters. The filters are 16" from the back wall to the front of the filter assembly, and sticks out about 7", I still have plenty of storage space under the sink. If I had put the tank under the sink I would have lost one half of the cabinet space under a double sink.

It fits in the corner. Height is 4 inches, width is 3 inches and from the corner to the front center or depth is about 4 inches. The height is to the top of the filter then u have the snorkel like a chimney is about an inch or so. Does not take much space at all because of the corner design. I have it in a 20 gal. tank as well as a Aqueon quiet flow 20gal cap. due to my Albino Convicts mate like rabbits and being in my other 50gal tank with 2 jack dempseys 2 cat sharks and 2 leopard plekos it was like war. so I put the convicts in the 20 gal. no complaints about the filter.

I no longer have the tank, but it is extremely small. If you look to the outside dimensions, it appears to have a nice foot print with ample "floor space", but you will lose approximately 3-4" on the rear side to accommodate an inadequate filter system. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS TANK FOR ANY REASON.

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! :)

Hi Richard!I am tempted to say about 1/8 of an inch- is does come to you pretty stiff compared to the other prefilter you have on the unit. It surely does not exceed 1/4 of an inch, but it feels like it does when new. You DO have to cut to fit, so be sure you hang on to the velcro strips that were originally with the unit!Hope that helps!Keith

I have a pool with a cartridge filter. The OD of the filter is about 9" and the ID is about 3". This cartridge goes in the middle of the filter.

No this is for an itty bitty tank, maybe 1 gallon, and itty bitty filter. :)

The filter that I have is about 1/8" thick, maybe a little more. It is less than 1/4".

The tank will require one square foot of space at the bottom and about 15 inches in height. The filter system is mounted to the cabinet wall and protrudes about 6 inches from the wall and measures about 15 inches wide by about 16 inches tall. The filter unit must be mounted an inch or two off the floor of the cabinet to accommodate filter changes.

Its about 5 inches. I don't recommend this product, the reusable filters are very messy.

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

I roughly measured the tank, I think the 1.11 is probably closer. I filled the tank with a gallon, plus about a quarter of a quart (measured with a quart bottle that wasn't graduated). I didn't measure how much beyond that fits in the base, but it might make up the remaining 0.4 gallons. I disagree with S.Wagner-- the size of the filter is not nearly enough to displace 0.4 gallons.

my tank is only 30 from side to side... so I think it will be to small. But I am not totally sure.

You will need 3" of clearance, it is 5.5" total but part of that sticks into the aquarium.
