My tank is not euro braced. If I had received it way back when (before my tank was somewhat established), I would have definitely tried to work it into the system. I'm a little bummed that it's not going to work in my application. It really is a nice looking pump, and very solid. There is nothing about it that feels "cheap".
Oh I hear you, and I do too. But folks usually don't plant a power head right in the middle of the front of their tank now do they. That's the draw back of a peninsula tank. You have to be extra creative with pumps and aquascape. Here is the panel I was hoping to mount it on.
Did you end up trying it?
Couldn't you place it on the overflow side?
Seems like it work work well mounted vertically on the overflow near the bottom with the right angle deflector.
Swapping for those Korellias in the picture would seem to be a workable solution if you're down for powerheads on that glass to begin with. But I don't think I'd be able to tolerate all three either.
Given the cost of this Stream 3 ($0.00) I'm not sure why you wouldn't place this pump somewhere on the back wall out of sight even though the sea swirl is there?
What could it hurt? You might even find a way to make the Korallias unnecessary!!!
I can't get with the easy-come-easy-go on this! Holy moly, man!!
