Generally you can have Frogspawn, Hammer, and Torch touching as they are all the same family.

I have a bunch in one spot in my tank and they all touch, but I do notice that my Torch occasionally causes issues with the others.

Well I wasn't sure about the skimmer as it took some time to get it dialed in just right and had to add a 90* elbow upwards to the output pipe but after one day of it running just the way I want it looks like this..........

Got the top part of the stand done over the last couple days as well, still have to get something to lift open the front for tank access hopefully tomorrow.



And this is what I'm looking at right now in the dark...........

Seriously killer looking!!!!

What sized check valve/output plumbing are you running on those return pumps in the background of your skimmate collector?

Thanks Bro.... the check valves are 1 1/2" but then has to go to 1" for the SCWD and remainder of the returns.

They are actually one piece, they grew together. I have had Hammers/Frog/Octospawns in big bunches before without issue.
