Can someone provide me with the open top side dimension of the skimmer section of this sump? I'm looking at ordering it but I'm worried my reef octopus 202s will not fit into this section. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bump for help with the following comments...

I have a 36" Elite sitting in a box and the opening is 10" x 11". I don't think the non-elite series is significantly larger due to the euro bracing on both. The 202 has a footprint of about 12.5" x 10". Bottom line, in my opinion, it would be a tight fit even if you could "tilt" it in the sump.

Thanks for the help. I knew it would be really close if it would even work at all. Guess Ill go get glass cut and redo my baffles.

Understand completely. I bought a different skimmer that wouldn't fit my sump which explains the new one - just waiting to to get installed as it doesn't appear it's going to install itself...lol.
