well yes and no skimmer king has a good idea about rolling the sump you just have to make sure you have room for rollers. i do have one other suggestion for you if you have the room you could plumb a second tank into your sump and have that tank just for the skimmer it can be hidden in a cabinet beside the main tank...which candouble asstrage for tank stuff..if you have the space for it
