💡 Why Use a Skimmer Stand?
Most protein skimmers are designed to operate at a specific water depth (typically 7"–9"). If your sump is deeper than that, you risk:
Overflowing the skimmer cup
Inconsistent foam production
Reduced nutrient export
This stand brings your skimmer up to the optimal height—improving performance and stability across the board.
