I would go with the aqua clear 70 or aqua clear 110. Always go higher if possible. Canister filter has to be under the aquarium. If you want to go with the emperor series then get a 400 not a 280.

It shouldn't be that low just enough below the water line for the sump that the aquarium don't overflow

I would go with either the second or third one. Both work equally well.

So long as it isn't tempered you can drill it now and just keep the water level low enough that it doesn't overflow. So if you are drilling the bottom just wait to cut the PVC pipe to the water level until you are ready for the sump. If you are drilling the side or back just keep the water level...

Try fixing it with aquarium safe epoxy and maybe if that don't work just call hagen and order a new case

Yes that will work. Just Google "ac filter mods" you will find tons of results of people doing that. I just wondered if it would work the other way around. So far the 110 impeller in the 70 worked....but I gotta wait till my order gets here to be able to tell about the smaller models

Yes unless you need more biological space and maybe a lower flow then just go backwards...run an ac 70 with a ac20 impeller for maybe 5 or 10 gallons

Well with this experiment I'll post pics and the results for future reference

Is it any louder with the 110 impeller?

Sweet...now I gotta order the parts lol

Ditto....I wouldn't give more than $150 for it

The ac 110 has a larger motor and impeller magnet so I doubt it will work....the 70 and under just use different impellers and the same motor

I'm wanting to put a 70/300 impeller in a 200/50 for my ten gallon. My fish love playing in a strong current but I'm over having 3 hob on the back of the tank. I just want one with a ton of flow and no cartridges...I'm over changing those things. Rinsing does no good even with tap water and high...

Nobody have any info??

I remember reading somewhere that the impeller from larger ACs can be used in the smaller ACs to increase flow. Can anyone verify this information? I did a Google search but can't find it. Also, what is the largest impeller usable in the 150/30 without water overflowing around the intake tube or...
