I have a 90 gallon tank that I'm in the process of setting up and I need some advice on a good protein skimmer. I plan on it going inside of my sump. Any suggestions?

Also, my stand is not wide enough to house a 40 breeder. What's the best tank for maximum water volume but can fit the dimensions?

Stand dimensions:
47" long
15" across
26 1/2 tall

I appreciate any replies

1)Bubble Magus Curve 5

Thanks for the replies. I just looked at the bubble magus curve 5 and it said the capacity is 500 liters. Does that mean it can handle up to ~130 gallon tank?

I use on a 100 gallon tank with a 20 gallon of filled water sump. Seems to work well. Put it in c. 7" of water though or it will be difficult to dial in.

Okay thanks. I'll do some more research and read reviews.

I got an oversized eshopps r200 sump and a reef octopus INT-150. I'm working on same size tank you are. Still doesn't have water in it because I goofed the pvc (short by half inch)!! So I'm redoing it the right way and I only have Saturday's to work on it. What else are you considering??
