Agreed. The skimmer is coming out.
When I originally installed it in there I was still planning on going only with an 8' stand.
But then started seeing that things were just going to be way too tight and since my hardware store only had 12' long lumber it was a no brainier to make the cabinet larger.
Well now I have to decide between the left or right cabinet.
Left cabinet will result in the skimmer pump and return picking up water after the fuge and depositing it in the pump chamber.
Or right side and getting water from the reactor chamber and depositing directly in the fuge.
In other words whats better? Skimmer before or after fuge. I know this is a very highly debatable topic, so I originally did it depositing directly in the fuge because I really had no choice of where the skimmer would fit in the sump.
