I have a Waterbox 25 with an external gravity fed Refugium I made. I want to stock as heavy as I can with fish eventually. Any recommendations for an in “sump” skimmer for roughly 30 gallons of water?

I'm not sure what options are available given your size of tank but I started with Aquamaxx and never did get it to work properly. Now run a Reef Octopus and its awesome.

Sorry, I should mention it will be in the 10 gallon tank I’m using as the Refugium. So no need for HOB or one that will fit in an AIO chamber
