I am starting to build my equipment list for my new build; an 820g FOWLR tank. My current hunt is for the right Protein Skimmer. I will have some messy eaters in the tank (eels & triggers) so I know skimming will be important. My LFS recommends an in-sump skimmer which seems to make sense to me. I don't want to go crazy on price, but willing to spend more if the skimmer does a better job. My stand will have about 39" of height to work with. My current plan for the sump is a custom made sump from Bashsea.
My initial research came up with REEF OCTOPUS SRO XP8000 In-Sump Protein Skimmer. It sells for about $1,300.00. I am a little nervous about the height - 37.5" Not sure it would be easy to remove the top section to clean.
Thoughts? Questions? Recommendations?
I appreciate your help!
