Can I stick my skimmer in my sump?

[Coldwater]

I am asking this question because my skimmer is a HOB type skimmer. Will this affect the way the skimmer works?

You can always hang in on the back or side of your sump.
(Provided there is enough room :neutral: )

Thats exactly the problem. I dont want my stand to be too high.

It actually works better insump. :mrgreen:

It will work better cause you can get rid of the U tube from the pump to the skimmer and have the pump go straight in.
