Hey folks,

How much space do you have above the rim of your sump?

------------------------------------ Bottom of Stand
| }
| Usable Height right now 9"
| }
|----------------------------------- Sump Tank Height
|

I'm looking to set my stand height based on this, right now in my design I have 9 1/4 inch.
 
At minimum, you've got to be able to get your protein skimmer in and out. That will likely dictate your height. And I'm not just talking the cup; you need to test pulling it out of sump
 
+1

As long as your not "boxed in" so to say it should be all good. (elbow grease)
