ok, so i did a little diagram, of what i did...so far... see this will show where my problem lies. the water line(look at the key on the diagram) is nowhere near where it should be... in order to get the water to where it needs to be on the skimmer, i need to lower the skimmer quite a bit... no prob, but then the cup will not reach the skimmer box to sit flush... so here is where i will be making the modifications.. somehow...
but the reason i cut the baffle(see red line) is so the magnet can rest on it and the skimmer will not drop...same theory as the zip ties or anything else to hold this up. I also cut a notch out of the hood to accommodate the collection cup.
first is what the back of the nano looks like un modified
here is the back of the cube with the skimmer in it
jjust thought i would post this.. just so you can SEE what it is i am trying to explain! LOL
