Reef Pack 200 and Eurobrace

[scunfcu]

Would magnet setup fit with Reefpack 200 for 2 inch Eurobrace rims? I understand the skimmer collection cup will stick out somewhat, but looking at photos of Reefpack, looks like I can attach magnet to side so I can push in the reekpack to go under the two inch Eurbrace? If it does fit, the collection cup for DOC 905 will stick out another 2 inch?

Do you mean the Reefpack 200 or 500? The 200 has the 9002 skimmer and it will fit but the 500 will not, as the 9005 skimmer cup won't clear the brace. For the 9002 you will have a bit over 2" of room from the cup to the tank edge.

Reef 200 with 9005 skimmer. So cup will take another 2 inch from end of 2 inch rim, for total space taken of 4 inches from back of tank?

Sorry, but the Reek Pack 200, it should come with 9002 skimmer and not 9005? If its 9002 skimmer still 2 inch + 2 inch eurobrace totaling 4 inch from back of tank using Magnet holder?

It will stick to the back of the tank and the cup starts 2 1/8" in from the back wall so it will clear the brace. The cup is almost 3.75 wide and tall.

Now that skimmer cup will clear the 2 inch Eurobrace, how high will the skimmer cup stick upward? I am hanging Aquatinics TX5 T-5 lighting onto my tank using the TX5 brackets on side of the tank. The vertical distance from the T5 lighting hood to 2 Eurobrace is about 2 1/2 inch only. Thanks Roger for all your help so far.
