Skimmer opinions

I need help on picking a skimmer for a 30 gal cube and 15gal sump I have a 9x9 area to work with

I just got the bubble magus 3.5 for my 20g. That's the smallest in sump skimmer that I could find. The tank isn't running yet, but I can tell you it looks good in the box :)

Thanks I will have to research it some more. I have looked at the icecap k2 50 and reef octopus 110sss skimmers so far.

I have a 33 gal display with a Eshoppes cube nano sump total water volume is 39 gal. I use a RO 110sss because that was the largest skimmer that would fit. It works great. Produces good Skimmate and is completely silent. It is simple to maintain too.

Do you have any pictures or a build thread?

Found it you have a nice setup we have close to the same setup

Look at the tunze skimmers, very small footprint with tons of production.

How big is the setup you are running it on and which one did you choose

I've got the IceCap k2-50. Runs very quiet, easy set up and works great for my tank, can't beat the price either. I have a 25 gallon display with a 15 gallon sump.

Good choice well made and value for size and performance
