I'm upgrading my Sump and making it bigger. I will obviously have to move stuff around and was wondering if my Das ex-1 skimmer can be used in the Sump? It's external right now but it seems to have random little leaks, but skims like a beast.

I could find a place for it if it can be submerged. If not the I'll just move it to a more accessible spot.

You can run an external in a sump it is not effected by water height.

Yep, no problem. Mine has been in my sump for over 3 years.

so there are no electrical problems if the single pump is going to be underwater? I just want to know before I accientally fry it...?

No, no problems at all. Mine is almost totally submerged.

Yep you can run it that way. I have since I had it for 3 or 4 years.

I love this skimmer! One of the best things I brought for my tank.
