Looks great!
If you can share anymore pics of your skimmer setup that would be great! I'm still trying to figure out what to do with mine. My present thought is to move it out in the garage along with my chiller, this way I can keep the sump that I already have. But if do this, then I'm going to have to upgrade both pumps, which shouldn't be a problem, the problem is picking which pumps to buy!!!

what is your present situation with the skimmer? Mine is a MR-2 powered by Gen-x PCX 55. The sump is the same dimensions as a 40 breeder. everything fits wall to wall i coldnt fit more than a quarter between the doors and the plumbing... it was perfect. the skimmer sits in 9inches of water and the plumbing has about 6 or more unions so I could manuever the piping anyway I wanted. i then converted 1" over to 1 1/4" barb fitting and used the tubing to make the bend.
I will get you some pics of the back side of the plumbing tomorrow.

cstires,
I am running a 30 gal sump i have my two over flow pipes running into a 8 inch wide chamber with a baffle. Then i have an ASM g-2 skimmer sitting in the rest of the sump. And the far end of the sump i have a 1 inch bulkhead to feed my external ran eheim 1262 pump that feeds both returns via a tee

A friend of mine in Port Charlotte put all his equipment in the garage. He built a closet about two feet deep and 6 feet wide and put sliding glass doors on the garage side for access. The air con/heating has a duct to the closet for temp control. He has access to all the equipment, climate control, and can still park his car in the garage.
fwiw,
