What's the dimensions of your sump where the protien skimmer will be place? So we know what your working with space wise. Also do you have a budget in mind?

thanks for the picture can you just tell me the length of the chamber the skimmer is in?

 

[Jeepguy242]

length of chamber is 13.5" right to left, and 12" front to back, i got 5" front to back to play with, and 3" left to right, and no, the pump is on the right side in the pic, you can see it if you follow the white air line down to the pump input, right nect to my maxijet for my gfo reactor

I would look into the SWC 180. Priced right, and has an internal pump which would save you the space

Do you have this skimmer? I'm asking because I'm considering this one as well. What's your bioload like?

OP, what's your bioload like?
