I'm looking into these skimmers, because I have a limited footprint area for an in-sump skimmer.
Two questions. First, if the skimmer chamber of my sump has a set water level that is higher than 11", can I simply install this skimmer using the brackets to get the water level correct or do I need to use a stand in the sump? And, assuming either one of those is ok, are any other mods necessary or can I simply use it in aquarium mode? Second, I notice the instruction manual says that it should only be in a chamber where the water is calm. Any problem having it in the same chamber as the gravity overflow drains into my sump? Thanks.
