Can I convert an in sump euroReef to be External?

[Bruce]

I currently have a EV800 by ETSS and I have a EuroReef. CS8-4
I have the EV800 outside, mounted slightly above the sump. I would LIKE to
try using the Euroreef in its place. How can I do this?

I guess I COULD put a 2nd sump outside, that would freely drain back into
the primary sump, but are there any other ways to do this? I would like to
keep as little water volume from the outside due to temp issues.

The cabinet is too low for this skimmer.
Take is a 155 gal All Glass Bowfront reef


Thanks

Well, you'll have to be a plumbing magician, but basically you need to do two
things.

Plumb the pump over the wall of the tank into the Euroreef.
Permanently affix PVC to the adjustable overflow tube to direct water back into
your sump.

Be sure that the water going back into the sump is in the section before the
bubble trap so you don't end up with microbubbles in your display tank.
