plumbing help pretty please
I have a proclear aquatic impact skimmer 600 and would like to know how to plumb it for external use under my tank. If someone could show me a picture of this or a diagram I would be so grateful.

You can put your pump in the sump and use vinyl tubing to connect to the hose barb. Then you you put an extension on the return running into the sump. Keep the return pipe level and do not run it upwards or it will flow out of the top of the vent. Here's my Bermuda in a cabinet above my tank.

I made my own "overflow" which runs down to a Mag pump on a shelf below the tank. The return runs straight down into the tank, and ends with a 90 degree elbow pointed at the back glass.
