Similar to the sump found in this older Reefbuilders article: https://reefbuilders.com/2014/08/22/transformer-sump-enables-larger-skimmers-stand-clearance/

Do any manufactures of sumps make something similar to this? Just got a new skimmer and am having a heck of a time getting it into my sump due to low clearance between the sump and stand.

Thanks!

Would be interesting with a follow up article on how that sump worked out for them over time. Cleaning of the threads etc without being able to remove it for a vinegar bath for instance. But interesting concept!
 
That looks like something custom to me, maybe try reaching out to Synergy Reef or some other acrylic equipment manufacturer and see if they can quote you for such an option on their sumps.
 
Your best bet would be to go custom. Highly recommend it.
