hang on refugium on 29

[willis stanley]

I've got a 29 gal. to which I'm going to add a small 12" hang on
refugium (bought from acryliccity). Will it be OK hanging on the side
or must it hang on the back to avoid overly stressing the glass?

Hi Willis,

It'll be fine on any side of the tank, as the strength will be put on the corner
joints rather than the glass at its center. However, do take note of your
tank's current balance on its stand and subsequently after the 'fuge is hung on
the side.... it may shift the weight some and you need to be prepared to deal
with that.
