Hey Folks. Is there anyone who can help me with a powerhead question? I recenty purchased a Aquaclear 50 power head (formally known as a Aquaclaar 402. I have a 75 gal. tank , and I am sure I will have a problem mounting it on the rim. The instruction say it is a sealed unit, and I think I need to mount it under the rim with the suction cups.. But this will put the unit compleatly underwater. Does this work>? Is this safe. What little hair I have looks really bad sticking strait out:D v

Anyone???

Hey owen

I wouldn't put it underwater, not unless u want curly hair!!
It should mount on the tank back glass, sometimes you have to cut holes in canopies to do this. I am not sure what type you have, but the powerhead is designed to mount on the top rim of the glass.

Cool- thanks for the help. The attachment is a litte odd to me, but now I know what NOT to do. Tonight I will take a closer look at it. Thanks again;)

Any other questions post them, I'll try and help you out. A pic of your canopy, ect might help too.

Hi Owen..
I just came across this looking for info and I wanted to tell you that I have a Powerhead 402 in my 46gln. I have it hanging into the tank from a clip in the back that caused me to have to cut a little nitch outta the plastic in the back. I can't use suction cups for anything in the tank as my fish love to move crap around.
Good Luck.
Hope this helps.
