I would not go over 10 IMO the skimmer will run a little better around 7 to 8. B ut just my two cents

I will be using it for a 65gallon with a 29 gallon sump (about half full). My skimmer section will be at 9" deep. Think this skimmer will be ok for this setup?

I just measured mine. I'm running an Extreme "TS" 150, the bigger, earlier version.
It draws 8.5" with an adjustable standpipe up to 14", but fully collapsed, it already blows the lid off with Skimmate.
