i have that same skimmer... someone on nano reef.com had a setup to where the section where the skimmer was, had higher baffles. i plan to build my sump that way since im worried about the longer hoses hindering the design.

 

[dasnugs]

i figure the longer design so i i buy the rio 800 it comes with a rio 600 what do u think

i have a maxijet 1200 on mine, i dunno how that transfers..

off topic question, do you have any pictures of your setup or more info on it soon? im gonna upgrade to a 30 long pretty soon and am trying to figure out what lighting to get

You probably don't want to move the pump down in the tank since that'll reduce the effectiveness of the venturi. If the tank has decent circulation, moving the skimmer input shouldn't make any difference, anyway. A preskimmer might be worth considering.
