idk if it will fit anything other then the sedra .the sedra 3500 needs to be submerged. so it will be in your tank....its a big pump...if you can get your tank drilled..then you can go crazy and do what you want. with out mucking up the tank with pumps and heaters and filters ect.it doesent cost that much and is well worth it...imo ..

i don't want to have a sump or anything... well not now... plus... the skimmer is going to be HUGE... i would have to pipe the outflow all the way up, then down... and i'm not down for that... the only sump i want is for a refugium and to connect to the skimmer...
