Protein skimmer suggestions

[nickynels]

Hey all,

I have been in the hobby for almost 2 years now and I am looking for a protein skimmer to fit in the rear sump of my 23g Red Sea max nano. Before my new tank I never had one on my old 75g tank which was also a complete failure. I currently have a light bioload (1 shrimp, 3 coral frags, live sand and live rock) and I also do 10% water changes every week. I plan on adding more corals and fish later on and need a compact skimmer to fit in the 2.5 inch width of the rear sump. I also want one more easy to access and less noise producing than the tunze 9001 comline skimmer that I just tried out and it was driving me nuts. Any suggestions? Thanks

Maybe a bubble magus Mini Q? It fits in the rear chamber of my IM20. I'm no longer running mine but the tank is in our bedroom and I don't remember being too loud.

Great skimmer on a Nano. I use one on a 25 gallon.

I can tell you that IOAOI skimmers are great!
Inexpensive workhorse!
