    URGENT HELP: Cabinet height for Eheim 2080 filter

    Hi all, need some advise fast... I just bought the Eheim 2080 filter (H567 x 330 x 330mm). I intend to custom made a cabinet of W120×D50×H75 for my tank of W120×D50×H50.

    Can it fit into the cabinet with enough space for the hoses comfortably without hoses being bent? My experience last time was that I used one 2078 (H534x264x264) and the hoses just barely enough to avoid being bent to pass through the hole at the back of the cabinet. The cabinet I think was about 2.5 ft bought from Nature Aquarium. So, this time, I need to play safe to ensure no mistake to avoid to return to exchange for other filters to fit properly. Should I increase the cabinet height to 85 cm at least but will it look too tall?

    Thanks for any advise from anyone especially those who are putting 2080 inside the cabinet!

    And....

    don't forget to give some allowance for the hinges at the cabinet door. I couldn't fit my brand new filter into the cabinet as a result of that. Just 2 cm too tight.

    Cheers,
