I have a bit of a dilema. My sump, is 20.5" tall, 29" headroom in stand. The water level in the sump is 17" Now, when I built the stand, I wasn't thinking. Now, I have not much room to get into the sump, as the door opening to the stand is 23" The skimmer I have now is not very good, berlin skimmer that I cut the base down to get into the sump a little easier. My delema is, what skimmer can have a higher water level so I can put it outside the sump, yet have water flow back into sump, yet be low enough that it will still work in the stand???? Hers a pic, and you can see my skimmer on a eggcrate stand to get it above it's max waterline. I know a lower sump is an option, But I like the extra water volume.
