Simple is Good thanks Dan, now everyone knows too!
When I get the skimmer I will let you know for sure maybe this weekend or next week. I hope.

Yes, I was thinking of using one of the 25 gal I have. Or I was thinking that I could use it on the 72 gal.

This footprint how do I get that? Ugh!

Maybe I should be starting on the 72 as I already have the skimmer.

Couldn't this be easier Can't I just throw a tank under and fill it with water and call it a sump, be so much easier. I really think I just can't get my head around this yet but I will. This is guy stuff.

LOL, it's OK, Leah, some times WISH my tank was simple LOL.

What skimmer are you thinking of? The manufacture should have dimensions posted online. Thats what I was meaning by footprint. And usin your tank will be fine. Can you take a tape measure to the inside of your 25g tank? length, Width, Height, then I can draw a sketch for you with sizes

Dan,

Oh, the tank has water and a fish, this could pose a small problem. Looks like I may need to go buy an empty tank. Walmart here I come in this case should I look at anything other than a 25? Mark said he used a tall 20 under his tank, I think if I remember correctly.

If I start with the 72 gal. I have the skimmer, it is the Deltec 500 this may be my best
bet at the moment. So whatcha think?

Sounds good. Better chance hanging that Deltec in a sump than off your main tank.
