darble Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 I searched around on the forum and could not find anyone green enough that had asked this question, so I apologize in advance for my ignorance. I bought a top fin 55 gallon starter kit. I changed out the filter system to a aqua clear 70. Everything is all set up and react to go, except I can not put the aquarium lid on the side with the filter because the filter system is in the way. What do I do? Told you it was a newbie question!

The-Influence Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Can The Canopy Be Cut ? Maybe Post A Pic Blake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLake Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Its gotta be able to work. I have used acs on one of my 55 top fins. Is the intake tube in the way? or is the filter spilling water onto your lid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evolution Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 You need to cut out a space for the filter at the back of the canopy. The canopy should have a grooved cut line where the filter fits, cut that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darble Posted September 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Ah ha. I see it now. There are sections that can be cut out. Thanks so much. I actually had the cover on backwards so the part that opens was on the same side as the filter. Flip,snip,done Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
