Shopping for new equipment online, I noticed its really hard to find a comprehensive list of filter sizes by model and make. I think it could be a pretty useful sticky if people could pitch in and post any filter models they may have with accompanying dimensions. Once we get a good list going, I can consolidate it into an organized form by brand. Guess I'll go first

Hagen Aquaclear 70: 8.25"w x 6"d and 8"h. Takes up 2.5" within the tank, max lip size, 1". Requires 4" of clearance behind tank.

Penn Plax Cascade 400 internal filter: 9" tall and 3" x 3" at widest points. Optional spray bar at 5" or 10" long.

There was a pretty good list for power filter sizes.. I just have no idea where that site is anymore..

ThatPetPlace and PetSolutions does list the size of their filters though, you can use that to compile a list.

Sweet. Thanks Vampie. I know marinedepot does too, but they rarely have all the sizes for all the models.
