Do most skimmers have to be run in the sump? When I set up my basement sump in the future, I was planning on keeping the skimmer external. Any major concerns about doing this? Sorry, don't mean to hijack the thread, but I'll be building a sump with a used tank(s) as well, so tagging along. Also with regard to the skimmer, I'd like to feed it strictly from existing plumbing (no extra pump), it will be a simple air stone, counter current DIY job. Keeping it external & in the basement, I should be able to make it six feet tall if I want, no?
