OK, my great new tank has an issue. There is a heavy plastic rim around the top of the tank, but this also has an extension into the tank (the cover rests on it). The problem is that it is so thick, the Aquaclear intake tube can't get past it.
So do you think it's safe to cut a 1 inch section of this extension out?
Oops, I'll actually have to cut a section about 8 inches long for the entire filter. Crud.
In this picture, the cross bar is attached to the rim extension. I don't want to cut the rim, just enough of the extension to get the intake into the take.
