9005 in sump

[scarletknight06]

Roger,
I just picked up a 9005 in the equipment selling forum, and I know you recommended the 9010 for my setup but i wanted to save a little cash so i went for it. my question is: my sump runs at a constant 7.5" water level, can I use it in sump without the kit for a few days?. That leaves about 4.5" of waterless space in the sump (if that makes anysense). I have the 9005.40 kit on order, just waiting for it to arrive.
TIA
Jonathan

You would have to have 9.5" of water minimum for the skimmer to work, I would recommend 10".

do you know what vendors have them in stock? Turns out the 9005.40 wasnt in stock at salty critter.

If anyone would have it it would be Marine Depot but they may be universally out of stock. I don't have any on hand.
