Refugium and skimmer

[Laura Kelsey]

hi everyone

So I have a 75 gallon tank and right now I have a canister and trying to move to a refugium. I found a 20 gallon already set up to be a refugium for cheap and bought it. My issue is right now I have 2 eshopp 75 HOB skimmers, I was planning on buying and in sump one but with how the baffles are I would have to move a few to make space for the skimmer. Is there anything wrong with keeping the skimmers on the back and then just running the refugium. Obviously it defeats the point of getting rid of stuff hanging on the tank but other than that is it ok? I wanna get rid of the canister ASAP and this will allow that.

That should work out just fine :) yeah you'll still have them hanging on back but functionality wise it'll work

No, other than the cosmetics it won't be an issue.

If you set things up right, you may be able to use the HOB skimmers on the sump.

As long as you have the space for it and the water level works for the hob you should be good
