Maybe add a carbon reactor too.
Maybe supplement your existing sump with a rubbermaid tub for now?

Mitch,
I am looking at either a Vertex or an SWC for the new tank...neither will fit in the existing sump.

Humm, you got me thinking with the rubbermaid idea, never thought of that really. would have to figure out how the plumbing would work but it might just be the best way to go and I could order the new skimmer now.

any suggestions on how to plumb?
