Hello

I have just installed the sump upgrade kit for my Red Sea aquarium, and the skimmer, which was in the rear sump before, is so high and clumsy in the in-cabinet sump.

Can you recommend a in-sump skimmer for a 50 gallon tank, and as silent as possibly? (I think one with a DC pump would be the best choice)

Reef octopus has great skimmers. Try running it part time to reduce noise

Thank you. It just seems that reef octopus only have skimmers for bigger tanks :(
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
