Hi. Im running a vertex 150 in my elos midi 36g.

I thought bigger was better but i cant seem to get this skimmer function properly. I barely fits in my sump as you can see

It makes a lot of sound. A very loud hum and i cant seem to find the sweet spot to skim.

So ive been looking for a replacement. I was thinking about a deltec sc1351 because its small foodprint. But ive seen a comparison video between build quality between deltec and vertex and vertex is better. I read its a good skimmer.

Next option is a tunze 9410 doc dc skimmer. The new one. I read the reefbuilders review and im impressed by it but i think this might be a bit bulky aswell

Any tips or recommandations?
