Hello all! Been a few years of a hiatus on reefs, but I just recently was inspired to come back to the hobby.
I'm trying to figure out the best skimmer for the tank. Ideally, as this AIO has a decent amount of space behind the false wall I'd like to see what I could get back there. For false wall specs see this image:
I've been eyeing the IceCap K2-50 to do the job, but I wasn't sure if there were other options that perform better with the space below. I plan on running InTank baskets in the overflow portions to aide with initial mechanical, biological, and chemical filtration as well as running a modified reactor in the cabinet below the tank filled with Cheato to assist with additional nitrates. Ideally, I'd prefer the Protein Skimmer take the bulk of the work and save the rest of the filtration process for polishing.
Thoughts?
