Protein skimmer in 100g Rubbermaid sump

[Iam_Mitch]

Those with protein skimmers in their 100g Rubbermaid sumps, or any other large, deep, sump, can I see pics of how you have the protein skimmer situated? TIA!

I’m guessing raised up to meet the ideal water level requirement.

Yea, hoping to see how people did it. Deciding bw 100g and the 50g. The 50g is much easier since it’s 12in tall. Proper skimmer height is easy to obtain in that. With the 100g it’s much deeper so looking for ideas

Any kind of a riser will work. In a 50-gallon you may not need anything since you probably won’t have more than 8.5-9” of water anyway (typical height for most skimmers).

I like the 100g because I can do large water changes that way. You can make a pvc rack and bolt it to the bottom of the skimmer.
