just got around to setting up my skimmer tonight and failed to check beforehand if it'll fit inside the stand. With all the space my sump & pump take up, it'll take alot to fit it in now. I'd have to dremel around the square base at the bottom of my Lifereef skimmer, as well as cutting out some of the bottom inside triangles on the stand so I can move the sump flush against the stand. Not something I was hoping to have to do :-\
I also have another option but I'm not sure if it will work. About 4 feet away from the tank I have an armoire that I was planning on installing a future refugium in, it could easily house the skimmer with no problem.
Would I run into trouble with putting the skimmer that far away from the tank/sump?
The bottom of the armoire is about 3 inches off the floor, the sump is on the floor, would this be ok that they aren't on the same level surface?
Option 3 which I don't really want to do is look to trade the Lifereef for something that fits a little better.
oh also I've got an Iwaki WMD20RLT to power the skimmer, anyone know if these are loud? heard some Iwaki's are pretty darn loud
