Can anyone with a Weipro 2014, ? I assume FOR A 4 FT and up to 5 FT? TEll me the height of the thingy..cos I need to measure if my it can fit into my I- TUB and IROn rod stand?

Also I need a good price ,, I got a quote from a neigbourhood shop at $73 without pump..

Which Matching Wei Pro SUmp will do for this Skimmer?

That was in inches right?

Height is 27.5" from base of skimmer to top of the cup. Without the cup, from base to neck is 22.5".

$70 but far from where you stay. Can guess where already ?

The standard stand or cabinet is normally 32-34 inches and after you minus off the space taken by the bottom shelve and top, most wont fit. would recommend you get a customise stand or cabinet thats 36 inches high. Use to use a WI stand on my 3ft and the 2014 cannot fit.

eg. a 34inch stand with 2inch bar thickness, the bottom shelve is raise 4 inches above ground. so 4 + 2 (bar thickness bottom)+2(top bar) =8inches. So 34-8 = 26inches. You need about 30 inch clearance inside to fit 2014 cos although it <28inch, you need space to take out the collection cup.

Believe his stand is WI stand and not cabinet-type.

Think you should be able to hang the skimmer onto the stand/tank as the skimmer has a hook. You have to take care of the outlet pipe though if it is not next to the tank/sump. However, I had many advise from pl here to better put into sump to avoid leaks.
