Canadian Man's skimmer reaction chamber is no more than 26" tall.

How do I know this? I bought the acrylic tube that it's made of! I have the other 26" and it was a 52" off cut.

Like I said, I know it's kinda sucky to hear this, but, what I would do is go to the Mak4, AND cut the skimmer in half. I know it's not quite what you want to hear, but another thing to consider: you have to get into the skimmer once per week to clean it. How can you even reach down into it if it's 48" tall?

Look on the bright side, you could probably sell the offcuts.
