Question Footprint of Xtreme 160 skimmer??

I'm adding a larger 20 gallon sump, and was wondering what size foot print the Xtreme 160 has before I silicone the barrier in.

The Marine Solutions site says the footprint is 6.4". But I wouldn't break open the silicone until they actually have their hands on one and give firm specs. Plus you'll want to know the operating depth too. That's what my holdup is in building my sump.

Actually, the 250 is 16x16. The footprint of the 200 is 11ishx13ish.

Glad to here the 200 is not 16x16 I was sweating for a minute, I am hoping it is similar to the ATi 200 footprint wise.

I am using it in a 29 gallon sump.

No tracking info, but I'm guessing it'll be here Monday.
