They made my skimmer chamber a little shorter than I wanted, but it'll still work. It's 14.3" x 18". The filter socks stick out further than I thought they would. Hopefully the skimmer will fit okay.

Same size as mine, But is that a Skimmer stand where your filter socks will be?? Either your Skimmer or changing the socks out will be harder to get to unless you are going to have a side door on your stand. I hope you do not regret that design if my assumption is correct as no side door means one will be blocking the other?
If i'm wrong that will be a great sump otherwise. JMO

I am assuming I'll have a side door we'll see. That is a skimmer stand, adjustable from 3-8" in 1 inch increments. I may switch to round socks if the rectangular stick out too far.

The skimmer dimensions are 13.5 x 14.5 x 22.5 T. Think if I stick the pump out toward the socks it should fit okay. More worried about stand height after adding 5" to the skimmer from the stand.
