I am planning my sump and need to know how much room I need for an Aqua C EV120 and a mag 5 pump to run it. I am using a 29 gallon tank for a sump. I am thinking if I leave 10 inches of the 12 inch wide tank for a skimmer section I will have plenty of room for this or a similar skimmer. What do you all think? And please don't make this a thread about what type of skimmer is beter than Aqua C:fun4:

I have a aqua c 180 in 55g tank/sump in the middle section thats about 15" L x W 13". You have to leave enough room in front of skimmer for return water, you might want fitting on it, or run a sponge on it to make it quieter/absorb bubbles. I also have the pump in the inlet section, so I'm not reskimming the same water over. Good luck.
