got a sump/skimmer question

I don't know. But I would check the manufacturer's book/instructions if you have one, or call the manufacturer and check with them. Also check with the people you bought it from to see if they have an answer or possibly a modification.

yes you would, the super skimmers are designed to be in sump or HOB. The only real thing that makes them in sump is they are wide enough to sit on without falling over. you will just have to adjust the skimmer height with something like an eggcrate shelf to get it at the right water level depending on the depth.
