STANLALEE how much room did you have to have in order to do this with your skimmer, and is it the 125 or the 65 that you are using, i am going to be doing a similar thing with a new fug for my 75 gallon and plan on using the 125 and i wanted to know how much room i needed in the compartment for the skimmer, i will either be doing it that way or just hanging it on my fug because it is going to be a 30 gallon tank that i will drill for the inputs and outs

The skimmer section only has a footprint of 6" x12" so I knew the body would fit but the pump might not fit (its a 125 model). Originally I was going to just let the pump hang over the 1rst baffle in the fuge section but the skimmer just happens to be the size where the pump is going to be close to the baffle no matter which side its on. The pump actually fits just fine although there is slight contact where the strainer part of the pump touches the baffle but I ran the thing and the pump is still silent (really dont see why it cant touch anything anyway). The bubble difuser would have fit as well where I did the porous media job (pond filter media) but the walls of the sump are so thin the diffuser bracket wont mount to it without a spacer. I didn't want to use it anyway as micro bubbles werent a major concern being in the sump and sponge/media cures all. Just make sure the media is porous and slightly above the waterline so it doesn't cause back pressure otherwise it will overflow. worse came to worse I'd have just hung it on the sump as well.

I know its german made, thats about it. Hubby was in charge of that part of the tank, and he researched alot, and decided on this model.
