Can someone provide the rough dimensions of the FX6 canister? I just want to make sure it will fit through the opening in my aquarium cabinet, thx

18 inches wide and you'll need 22 inches tall. Awesome filter. Keeps my 125 gallon looking great.

It's big! It is round about 16" across plus another 3 1/2 " on one side for a part that sticks out and about 22-23 inches high. I have two 55 gallon stands with different door configurations. It will fit under one but not the other. Hope this helps

The opening on my cabinet is 15 inches wide. I forget how tall, I'm not home to measure right now. But I believe its about 24-26 inches tall. I was afraid I was going to have to take a jigsaw to my cabinet to widen the opening. But it fit no problem. It even had about a quarter inch on each side to spare.

6" would be fine. My cabinet was a little wider than that but I measured it and 6" looks like it works great

I am unsure of exact dimensions, the manufacturer dimensions means it fits a 36" by 18" aquarium and its fits the 40 breeder perfectly within the recess area .

There is a ton of room in the middle three canisters for media. I would not remove the side foam inserts. The FX5 is a great unit. I have a turtle that produces a LOT of waste and it does an amazing job.

This is my first fx6 however I have owned fluval canisters before and have never had an issue. My fluval 405 has been running for years with no issues and its nowhere near as nice as the fx6. The parts are good quality. Seam like they are built to last not to mention you can get replacement parts really easily. Hope this helps.

The width of the glass is 22 1/8 by 16 3/4. Yes it should. The only thing I found is the back plastic does not stay flush against aquarium back And is hard to cut. But it will fit.

With 1/6 of a keg it will fit. I have seen home made kegerators with the tank inside. Tape the hole in the back so no cold air gets out. Enjoy

I have it in a 1.5 gal glo fish tank. It's a square, 7.5 " tank and the depth is a little under 7". The filter fits it perfectly. The filter that came with it was too small to be useful. This gets good flow and it is a cartridge filter system so they replace easily. I've had 2 of the tetra glo fish and a cory cat for about a year now. They do fine in the tank, I have a small plant in front of it to diffuse the intake some and the fish have been fine. In your question you asked about the half moon. That one I would not recommend due to the shape and space, but a square tank with the filter in either back corner should be fine.

I'm sorry I don't have the exact dimensions (I'm at work, the tank is at home) but it fits the Aqua Tech 20 - 40 filter and the opening is on the right back side. Hope this helps.

A medium canister will work wonders for that size aquarium. I have a 75 gal and the med is perfect

I have it in a 30 gal classic rectangular tank and all my reef inhabitants seems to be happy with it. It is installed inside of the tank and submerges about 90%. It might look big in 12 gal, as it probably occupies about a 1/2 gal of aquarium space.

Don't know if will fit in your coralife biocube? I have one in my 29 oceanic cube for my Dwarf Seahorse's.You need to have room inside the tank as well as above? it sticks up over the top 2-3 inches. Do your tank have a custom lighted top cover?Hope this was helpful..

I have a 55 gal. aquarium with a mid-divider. I purchased 2 glass sets. Each double sided panel set measures " 23 &#8539; Width x 9 &#8540; Depth or (11 D w/ the plastic extender added)". I added the plastic sections and custom cut the plastic extender to fit around the return filters for each division. As long as the 75 gal. model had a mid-divider with the same openings of 23 &#8539;" x 9 &#8540;" or 11 ", it should 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.

I opened mine in the store to double check the length and it was 15 1/2 which fit perfectly in my aqueon 5.5 tank. Any longer and it wouldn't have fit down inside the frame. Perfect fit.
