Phantom Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 I looked at doing this on a 450 (ended up buying a 400 instead), but you don't have much room to work with. From what I found on the net, the best idea is to create 2 sumps and put them on both side bits. One will have the skimmer and the other can have everything else. Run a pipe through the middle section to connect them. I'm using a Deltec MCE600 hang on back skimmer instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3xtcy Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Rebuild your cabinet with metal frame, and rebuild the front doors, to look like this . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
