    Anyone know how much clearance space the Eshopps S-200 and/or PSK-300 need in order to clean out the collection cup? The inside of my cabinet is 26" tall which is cutting it close.

    Thanks

    I know this is an older thread but for the sake of people searching I wanted to add that there is a video on drsfosterandsmith.com that shows the skimmer in action and they take the collection cup off. It looks like it is only about 1/2" or less clearance to take it off. Which is great. I am thinking about running a PSK-300 on my 150 when I set it up. Well, heres the link to get to the video:
