HOB filter with 3" space between tank & wall?

A pinguin might fit.
 
Some where there is a page that lists the measurements of lots of different filters...A member who is not sto active any more wrote it up, but I can't find it.

However, I think there are a few options, depending on what size tank you have. The AquaClears 200 would work, but only for a tank smaller than about 20 gallons. Best bet--grab a tape measure, or go peruse through the LFS.
 
ChannelCat is still around, though infrequently. He is active on several non-fish boards. I spoke with him a few months back, and he's doing well, just not really focusing on aquariums when he is online.
 
Update: HOB filter with 3" space between tank & wall?

Thanks for the replies - if anyone is interested... I happened to be in Walmart (I know, ugh, walmart) and saw that they carry a Whisper "Advanced" power filter. I grabbed the one that is rated at 300 gph - it is about 2 3/4 inches wide and easily fits on the 1 1/4 rim of my 120gal tank. I am currently running two eheim prof cannisters on this tank, but was interested in having something else for surface agitation and easy media access should the need arise - this thing fit the bill perfect for minimal clearance between tank and wall. I would be interested to know if anyone has any positive or negative comments about these filters. I haven't seen the "Advanced" series whisper anywhere but walmart...
