Help regarding Atman 3335

[Darkkon]

Hello guys, dun scold me for posting a seemingly "equipment" topic in the planted tank section hor... just that it seems all the more seasoned and knowledgable frequent this forum...

Got an Atman 3335 from Nature AQ, had to do it cos shooting over budget after getting other stuff... anyway, there are so many other tubings than necessary that i wonder what they are for? Anyone using this model can comfirm that they provide more parts than required? I had an Atman internal filter and up to now i also can't figure out what some "extras" are for...

The REAL headache begins with the suction caps with clips used to attach the intake and outake tubes to the glass. I am using a Nisso tank with a black plastic frame on top, and this makes attaching the tubes to the glass impossible cos the frame sort of "pushes" the suction caps off the glass after i stick them on. Are there actually any suction caps that are "longer", as in more gap between glass and tube?

Many thanks and hope you guys know what i am saying

Edited: Ok never mind bros i worked around that problem already... another thing to ask you experts though[]. I was told better not use the rainbar for outlet since i will be using co2, so what do i use? Just let the water flow out from the pipe like that?[:0]

I'm no expert but newbie, but I think I can help. It depends on your CO2 mixer you're using. It's not necessary to use the rainbar. If you're using a CO2 reactor which I would highly recommend, then give full blast to your reactor, this will facilitate your CO2 dissolve rate.
