I will be picking up my glass today to make my fuge out of a 29g glass tank. My question is how much space should I have in my intake section to accommodate a skimmer in the near future? I want to make the fuge part as large as possible I am working with 30" on this tank. Also how much for the return section? My current return pump is only about 4' wide. I have seen some skimmers needing about 8"x10" area. I was thinking about making the intake section about 8.5" and about 6" for the return. What do you guys think?
Oh yeah the tank is 30"x12"
Thanks
