Will Euro Reef RS250 fit in 29g AGA sump?

[alve]

I am considering buying a Euro Reef RS250 for my new 156g Oceanic Reef Ready tank I will be setting up. I have a 29g AGA tank that I want to put baffles in and make a sump. Will this skimmer fit in it?

The 29g is 30x12x18 (more like 11 3/4 measured inside). On Marine Depot it says the footprint of the skimmer is 12x14. The skimmer is a chamber with pump attached not a rectangle 12x14 so I wonder if it would fit?

I've a CS250 with the gate valve mod for my Oceanic 156, and I built a sump for it. The sump dimensions for that compartment are 18" x 14", with a ~2" eurobrace that makes the top opening of that compartment a little larger than 14" x 12". But, I've got extra space for the pump, as able to fit in the larger area at the bottom of the sump.

If you make the chamber in your sump longer than 14" to fit the pump in that area, I think you'll be able to squeeze it in place.
