Oh thank you!!! That's exactly what I need! Although I notice that the G4 and G4X bulkheads are different. I am not sure which model I have. Maybe I'll just get one of each and find out after the fact. (And I've looked at the measurement chart - I'm still not sure which I have.)
I bought the setup turnkey and used because the tank and canopy were exactly what I was looking for. (I'm, um, petite, and needed a canopy I could very easily access because I was tired of the hoist-canopy-jam-2x4-in method of tank access.
And no, there isn't enough clearance. There's about 7.5" of clearance from the top of the sump to the bottom of the tank, and I need a full 8" to get it out. So close, but maddening! And trust me, I've maneuvered it all over trying to find a way to get it out. (The sump is a baffled 75g over a 230g custom Oceanic.) The prior owner advised that it was the biggest skimmer he could fit in the sump, but that I'd better make sure it was in before setting the tank on the stand. Which is why it's in there in the first place. I thought ex-husband was going to do something about it, but he never got around to it. Just one of many things he never got around to.
Anyway, thanks!
Also, do I really need the foam thing?
