that's what i was thinking. i'm looking at other options too. i might be able to sqeeze it behind the tank and stand it on the floor. luckily the tank with stand and canopy are over 6 ft tall.

what if the pump i used to fed the skimmer had an air intake before the impeller so the pump would be producing micro bubbles too. kind of like the Sea Life Systems Skimmers or the Aqua Clear Aquatics Skimmers the "75" model from both places uses the venturi intake power heads. i used to have one of the SLS 75's on my old 38 gallon. it was a great skimmer.

also, on the snailman skimmer, instead of having the pipe coming up the outside that is used to adjust the water level in the skimmer, couldn't you use a gate valve at the bottom to adjust the level? kind of like the down draft and beckett skimmers?
