It only extends ti be able to be used at 16 inches i Modified mine to work but it lost suction so i don't think you would wanna do that

No, this plastic hood is made for a standard 30 gallon tank that is 36 x 13", the 18" depth (front to back) of your tank is too large.

It seems that would work. After awhile you may have to reposition sand a bit ..... granulated shell may be something you like better than gravel :) i got pebbles from home depot.. not a typical aquarium gravel and its pretty

It's up to you but it looks better on the bottom of the tank just don't cover it with the gravel hope this helps :)

One can should do it. Make sure the tank is cleaned properly so this can adhere.

For a 75 gal. 3inch deep it takes 8 bags. Also I would suggest you put it in a old pillow case, take it outside and hose it down really good. I did this before I put it in and had no problem with it clearing up fast also use a dish on bottom when filling with water. It is great substrate if you do this and looks awesome in the tank.

You could probably get up to like a 29 gallon sump under it. The top platform is like 18x48. Minus a couple inches you could say the inside of the bottom wood panel has about 15x44 inches of space conservatively. I haven't measured but this is an educated guess. The thing is you will have to assemble the unit by sitting the tank on the bottom platform after putting together the bottom and the sides of the unit, and then assembling the top. A 20 gal long tank would fit under it comfortably. The 29 would leave like a foot of space between the top panels and the top of the tank. I think the stand is about 30 to 33 inches high.

Yes if your tank is not already cycled it wont have the beneficial bacteria necessary to handle the bio-load in the "live" sand.

I use sand and I have about 10 pounds of sand but I have a fish stand. I would not recommend placing this 6 gallon tank on a desk or shelf because 6 gallons of water I think is about 48 pounds plus 10lbs of sand anda few rocks will make it over 60lbs. If you are not going to fill the tank all the way then I would recommend doing about half (3 gallons and about 5lbs of sand) on a desk or shelf. I really like this tank and also remember its acrylic = easy to scratch.

Don't know if will fit in your coralife biocube? I have one in my 29 oceanic cube for my Dwarf Seahorse's.You need to have room inside the tank as well as above? it sticks up over the top 2-3 inches. Do your tank have a custom lighted top cover?Hope this was helpful..

Here is a video of someone using this in what looks like a tank with sand: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf2L8F7Vtyk

Yes. It may take up some space but it will fit. It is good to use a filter bigger than your tank size (ex: 15 gallon filter for a 10 gallon tank) if you have some thing in the tank that produces waste such as a turtle or fish.

It should be ok..that filter is up to 40g.... That thing should keep your tank pretty clean. Plus you can adjust the flow so your not creating a whirlpool inside the small tank. IMO I'd upgrade to at least a 20 or 30 gallon... Hope I helped!!

Depending on the size of your tank, that shouldn't be a problem. When I first got this one, I kept my original filter in with this one and it was probably the cleanest I've ever seen my tank. My tank is a smaller tank (10G) and they still had plenty of room to swim... I have two 3.5 inch turtles.

Yes you can but rinse it really good before you put it in there. And it's more brown then black, which really bothered me, so Fyi in case you want a certain color substrate. You can definitely add more but rinse it very good or it will make your tank look like crap and clog your filter.
