Has anyone ever mounted a gyre pump to their tank's euro bracing? I have a Maxpect XF330 and would like to mount it on the euro brace but am wondering if it will reach down far enough down into the water. Have you tried extra magnets, a specific mount, ect....?

The euro bracing would have to be *really* close to the water surface. Like 1/8" to 1/4" close. You might be able to get away with some rigid foam padding on the underside (maybe 1/8" to 1/4" thickness, max) to extend the distance. The magnets on my Maxspect XF330s aren't the strongest, though.
