I am wondering if anyone who has a reefer 170 using the stock sump and a Reef Octopus 110SSS skimmer can fit other reactors inside the sump at the same time? I am hoping to fit a Skimz algae reactor in the sump as well but from the measurements I found on random documents online it looks like it may be 1-2" too narrow to fit both. Not so interested in a refugium inside or next to the sump, but am interested in trying to find a self contained algae reactor to fit. Like the idea of containing the reactor light to itself and not spilling into the rest of the sump.

I'm going to say no, based on the dimensions of the reactor. The link indicated it's 7x7 footprint and I'm not seeing quite that much room in the sump for that. I've got a 110-S classic and there is some room in there, it would be a tight squeeze...real tight.
