Advice on what to do with a too large Fluval FX5

Hi There

On Friday i purchased the Fluval FX5 for my 550 l Boyu (the idea is to replace one of the two Dolphin's C-1300) but ,to my dismay, when i got home I discover that its too big to fit through the tank's cabinet doors. The only option I have (if i decide to keep it) is to install it outside the cabinet, the issue is that the tank sits in my consulting rooms and I am concerned that being installed outside an enclosed cabinet it may become a little noisy. My other alternative is to exchange it, maybe for a eheim but since i don't want to add more money it will have to be a less L/H one (i haven't priced them yet)

Any experiences or advice?

 

You can also pass it on to me! Lol!
Hope you can exchange it!

 

Hey Gert

Hope all is well, I am sure they will take it back but nothing will make me happier than give it to you, if only i could...
