And now I have a hugeeeee problem. I was just looking at different models, and i only have 3.25" of clearance behind my tank. That eliminates everything. Than, the side of my tank is only 12.5". No luck there so far. Help?

Sump? 3" isn't going to find you much. If you're ok with something on the side of the tank, you could try converting an AquaClear filter in a refuge.

Well a sump is almost out of the question. I wish I could have one but theirs many reasons I cant.... I was at my lfs earlier and saw a small plastic tank for freshwater fish that was about 2 gallons. I was thinking about converting it to an in tank hang-on sump. Not sure how they work or what I would need to do though

Can get something custom made from acrylic (or DIY).
