AquaC EV-240 Skimmer Questions....

Well, seems I have a slight design error in my sump...  well to make a long story short I didn't intend on having as large a skimmer as I now have but the price was right.  I designed my sump and the height of the stand based on the EV-180 so now I have a problem with the ev-240.  That said if I lower the baffles a couple inches in my sump there won't be any problem its just going to be a pain in the a$$.
My Questions is how important is the placement of the gate valve above the water line in my sump?  can it be just below the water or do I NEED to keep it above the water line?

 

Thanks for the help.... I was afraid of that. I will have to change the baffles around and its not going to be fun since I can no longer get my sump out of the stand, at least it an inexpensive fix.

Why don't you just put a few pieces of egg crate under it to raise it up?
The skimmer itself hits the top of the stand...  I measured for a EV-180 and left plenty of room but not enough for a EV-240.  So about the only option is to lower the water level in my sump.

 

They are glass... well were glass, now they are trash, I am going to stop by lowes and get some more glass cut and I will be set.
