New to reefing

I just got a Red Sea max 650 and setting it up. Not 100% sure which part of the sump the protein skimmer should be. There are 2 areas that are possible. Can someone identify which one.

Thanks

Welcome to R2R!!!

Not familiar with the RC 650, BUT, I would guess it would be the section after the returns. Usually the skimmer is after the filter sock section. It would be the second section of the sump.

Again, I am not familiar with the RS sump.

I did find this though.

Thanks, does it sit up on a shelf

Depends on the depth of your sump. I built a cheap pvc pipe/egg crate shelf to get my skimmer at the right depth in my RSR 425 XL sump.

K, is this the sump, I hope.
