With that shelf in there you won't be able to fit an insump skimmer. Better measure!!

Love this! So what size bit, bulkhead and pipes did you use? I may buy that stuff locally.
You're right. I've thought about cutting the shelf to make a box on one side of the cabinet for electronics, which would give me the entire height on the other side. Do you think I could get by with a 10g sump?With that shelf in there you won't be able to fit an insump skimmer. Better measure!!
So those are 1" pipes for everything?
This is how I plumbed it. Out of the bulk head to a condenser and into a flex return hose into my sump. Then the return is self explanatory. Super super easy.
Haha!!! How in the world did you guess that my deck is the next home improvement project?I just re-read this thread....and here's my offer:
You buy:
1) the Glass-Holes kit
2) The baffles
3) The silicone
4) The cost of my trip to Miami and back (and I'm hoping Miami Beach....I did go to school in Coral Gables, so I know the area)
5) Thompson's Waterseal
And I'll build your sump, drill your tank, install the Glass-Holes kit, and power wash all that mold off your deck and give it a good sealing!
Now how can you turn that down!
Nana, what are the heights on your dividers, and how do you figure that out. Also, how much space is at the bottom of the second one?My 20L sump. Left to right-return, refugium, overflow/skimmer
........The reef octopus space saver is 19-something inches tall, so I'm not sure I could get it in and out of the sump even if I cut out the bottom.
Good point. So I only need clearance to remove the cup and then enough space to tilt the rest of the skimmer and get it out to clean. Thanks!Realize when your putting in and taking out the skimmer from your sump you've removed the skimmate cup on the top.....so it's not 19 inches at that point.
