I know you linked the specs for this skimmer but any chance you can measure just the base of the skimmer without the pumps. I could drill my sump and stick those pumps in my return section pretty easily but then its the matter of it fitting in my skimmer section as well. One heck of a skimmer you got there.

Sure. Skimmer body base of the cone is 14" across. Where the white 90 elbow protrudes out is 16" across.
