Wow that is tight. I have a waveline DC Pump and I know it's roughly the same size(about like a soda can).

One thing I see might become an issue. With the skimmer in the section next to the return, you might end up with quite a few bubbles spilling over and getting sucked up in the pump. It will either cause cavitation in the pump(ruining the pump), or quite a few bubbles in the DT.

Why not the first section?
