JBJ-65 Protein Skimmer?

[Rydog1210]

Hello everyone,

I've had my JBJ-65 set up for about 6 months now and I would now like to get a protein skimmer. I would really like it to sit in the back in the sump, but the slots are very narrow. Anyone reccomend a solid protein skimmer that would fit? It would have to be approximately 3.5"x3.5" wide.

I appreciate any and all feedback!!

I am using the Aqua Ready brand HOB skimmer on my JBJ65. It works well, but a HOB skimmer is a liability. They overflow, especially, and always when you're not around. To circumvent this, I have made a hammock with blue painters tape, under the skimmer. In the hammock sits a folded piece of paper towel, and in the paper towel sits a Neptune solid surface leak detector. The paper towel soaks up any overflow, and directs it to the leak detector, which shuts down the skimmer if it gets wet.
