Old Town Aquarium AIO Restarting, Considering Skimmer Options

[littlebigreef]

My Buddy @BryanC is getting back in the game. Huzzah.

The system is a 65 gal Old Town Aquarium Acrylic AIO. The skimmer chamber is 6~8" x 3.5"s 20" It housed a CPR/CPR-like skimmer with a 3" round style collection cup and driven by a RIO 600(?). Skimmer cup is gone, wasn't impressed by its performance when tank was up previously.

Is there a consensus compact skimmer that would work in that chamber (6~8" x 3.5"s 20")?

Aquarium figures to be a high end fairy wrasse acro dominant display so looking for peak efficiency.

Would also consider a 3D piece. Looking for any opinions/experience there as well.

Thanks
