Skimmer Recommendation

What would you consider the best skimmer for a 10G sump (tight on space) for a 40b. SPS/LPS/Softies. Thanks.

Anything that doesn't include Innovative Marine. I'd start with Tunze and work your way down the list from there.

Big fan of bubble magus skimmers

My choices would be these 2, depending on bioload. I prefer a traditional protein skimmer design but the tunze does work great if you keep the water level stable with baffles and maybe an ato depending on how often you replace water

Bubble Magus Curve 5.

I quite like aquamaxx skimmers for that size of tank (I think in-sump is always better than HOB, but their HOB is actually pretty good).

Very happy with Ice Cap units.
Ice Cap K1-50 OR 100
Ice Cap K2-50

I second the Tunze Comline Skimmers. Both the 9004 and 9012 are workhorses, with the 9012 really shining. I recently got the 9001 for a tiny nano but haven't tested it yet.
