sea swirl eurobrace

[breedingroom]

does anyone know how you mount a sea swirl to a tank that has the top eurobraced?

Depends how wide your bracing is. Mine is about 3" and I simply took the back plate off the SS and remounted it back further. Works just fine. If your bracing is really wide you may have to mount a larger piece of acrylic on the bottom of the SS first and then remount the back plate on to that.
