![]() I have read they are good.
I bought one, will be in the sump when I get my 120 finished. But don't count on that to be happening soon. |

![]() Maybe if the (external) skimmer didn't fit in the stand you could build a box for it so it would look like a plant stand or something?

![]() I had a similar dilemma. I made my stand short (28"). I made the floor of the stand lower than yours instead of making it raised the bottom is just plywood, so the skimmer and the sump sit only a 1/2" off the carpet (on the plywood bottom). Then I used a 15g for a sump which is only 12" tall. This gives me lots of room to get in there, and is just barely big enough for backflow from the pipes. I can fully remove my EuroReef RS-180 from the sump if I want to without tearing the whole thing apart.
