Currently in the process of building a 40 breeder tank, my first saltwater tank. I’m looking to get some suggestions on a protein skimmer. Will be going into a 20g long sump. Was going to get bubble magus curve 5 but recommended height is 9.5”-11” and my baffles will be 9”

Overkill for a 40B but i would go with something like this. Small enough for your sump but large enough to be useful when you upgrade... Also ideal water depth need.
