Greetings everyone I have to get my skimmer to ideal level if 7-9in. I need something to prop it up 4-6in. My sump is 13in deep. Previously I had a skimmer with a hanging attachment so I haven't encountered this yet, I looked at 3d racks but most were small and only 2-3 inches tall. Thanks yall!

I cut the bottom of a old 5 gallon bucket
 
Anything plastic or glass will work.
You just need the base to match the base of the skimmer so it's not wobbly, if you know what I mean.
Kids sand bucket sour cream containers or make something out of pvc.
Anything will work with a little DYI.
I used an old skimmer top for awhile.
