What is a good skimmer that would fit in a 9.5"-5" sump chamber for 72 gallon tank. Also what is better for a reef. A berlin sump or refugium sump

I is a matter of preference. Depends on who you talk to. I prefer a traditional sump with equipment in it, and an area big enough to hold some sand and live rock. This area can help raise copepods. They will in turn go through the pump and to the display tank.

I just recently got a Skimz skimmer and so far I love it. Works great and was easy to dial in. The pump is inside the skimmer so it saves a ton if room

If those wont fit, then your going to be running an under sized skimmer thats not going to help you alot.
