I'm soooo frustrated. My CPR HOB Refugium (small) finally arrived today.....and doesn't fit my tank.
I almost came unglued. I thought I was very careful about my measurements and while I knew it would be a bit wider than any side of my hex tank (by 2.5"approx), I was sure the intake and return would be close enough to fit over the 10.5" edge of my tank. Well they're much too wide.
The only option I see other than returning it is to let the outtake & middle brace of the fuge rest on the rim of the tank with the excess including intake resting outside of the tank. Then connect some hose & fittings from the intake up and over the edge and down into the water to the powerhead.
Am I trying to hard? I just can't bare the thought of returning it as it took sooo long to get to me. I've included pics...you can see my existing intank fuge.
Would love to hear from some of the older salties.
Thanks
