Hey folks,

How much space do you have above the rim of your sump?

------------------------------------ Bottom of Stand
| }
| Usable Height right now 9"
| }
|----------------------------------- Sump Tank Height
|

I'm looking to set my stand height based on this, right now in my design I have 9 1/4 inch.

At minimum, you've got to be able to get your protein skimmer in and out. That will likely dictate your height. And I'm not just talking the cup; you need to test pulling it out of sump

As long as your not "boxed in" so to say it should be all good. (elbow grease)

Can anyone give me an actual measurement of their setup and what is comfortable?
