Manufactured stands I have seen are either too tall or have a larger footprint than my space allows. While the DIY eggcrate and PVC stand is an option, I was looking for something a little cleaner and refined looking.
Info:
- Skimmer Chamber = 10.23″ × 8.5″
- Skimmer Footprint = 6.1" x 7.87" (Reef Octopus 110SSS)
- Manufacturer Recommended Water Lever = 7" - 7.9"
- Current Sump Water Level = 9"
The solution I am considering to raise the skimmer to recommended height costs around $35:
- 8"x8"x1" Acrylic Square Display Block
- .25" or .50" rubber cutting board feet, secured with super glue
Questions:
- What height would you recommend? High or low end of the water height range?
- Are there different types of acrylic and would I have to worry about them being reef safe?
- Do you think that rubber/silicone feet could cause an issue with leaching and do you think special rubber noise reducers are used on aquarium supply pumps?
I could provide links to the major online retailer where I have found these items, but not sure if it is allowed.
Thank you in advance.
