Got a new Bubble Magus roller. I was barely able to fit it in my small sump. I put a couple of wood rulers across the euro braced side and the filter is hanging on the ruler :) slightly tilted.
Currently the float valve is about 3" higher than the water level. Is that too much?

Update: I found my old acrylic skimmer stand and it works nicely with my BM roller filter. No more tilt and it was also able to get a few turns of the motor running as it got dirty. I think it is going to work well for the most part. Maybe would have been better if the filer roller was of smaller microns so it caught smaller particles.
