No. It will fit underneath. I planned for the cloud 9 RB skimmer which is only 21inches tall. Since my width foot print is a little smaller than I like, I may split two tanks underneath for sump... lol it sure yetyou can put a 500 in that thing man. Great job. I'm sure you are putting the sump and other stuff in a separated room right?
Yea...I could see that. I have a 72 that has a blue background...its...re freshin g ...lol. But with the overflows being black, i wasnt sure if it would clash...or shorten the tank look. Just played it safe i guess. This will be way to big to change my mindI’m going to try blue on my next tank. Heard it gives you a deeper dimension to the tank. Don’t know but will give it a shot lol
Great work...Just curiosity, are you placing the return pump before your skimmer? I thought it would be the other way around, water coming from the tank going over the skimmer and then the return pump pumps up. Just curious because maybe I did my wrong. ThanksPushed it in place and have my temporary sump/plumbing in place
Oh now I got it. Thanks for the reply and happy holidays and good luck with your new system!Him the drains will dump into the skimmer chamber first, then over the media all before the return pump. This is how I have my 93 set up now too....but as you can see, my sump is way too small. I will be re plumbing at a later date after i get a better set up...i.e spend more money
