External And Tank Lid

[007_gaz]

i was thinking of going external due looking at inside of one and it looks like it can do a good job but i noticed a problem with my tank lid, theres pre-cut holes at eack end but only small enough for heater and filter wires but not those external tubes. when u set up external did u have to cut abit away on your lid to help pipes to go in lid holes? i was just wondering.

If you need to cut it, then cut it. Some tanks need modification for external filters but it's worth the effort.
