What are the skimmer section dimensions there? The Mini 180 will require 10.65" (270mm) x 10.25" (260mm).
All dimensions including the drawings can be found here in the spec sheet.

That said, why are you looking at the Mini 180? That tank is only 54 gallons isn't it? The Mini 180 is WAY too big for that display and I would never suggest that skimmer for such a small display. It would never be consistent on such a small display. If anything, the Mini 160 would be a better choice. I have a 100 gallon tank and sold a Mini 180 in favor of the Mini 160 because the 180 would have been too large for what will be a lightly stocked SPS tank.
Specs on the Mini 160 can be found here:

Ok thanks.. as I expected ....I'm pretty sure I measured 9.75 inches by like 13.5 inches for the sump skimmer section.
I kept hoping it would fit. Annnnd hope will not change the dimensions : )
Reason I was considering the 180 mini as I was able to pick a used one for what I thought was reasonable.
I thank you kind sir for the quick reply.

Glad to help. The 160 would be a far better choice! As I said, I picked up a 180 for my 100 gallon display and ended up selling it in favor of a 160 as it was the right choice for my display. Sometimes less is more! :thumbsup:
