@rvitko Which skimmer should I get for a low boy frag tank (48″ x 24″ x 10″)? I was wanting to go with the 9012 but it looks like it will not work. Is the 9004 my next best option?

Thanks
Doug

Yes, the 9012 won't fit and be careful as we had a local store order similar tanks and they came in 9" high, minus trim and bottom they had an under 8" water depth and even the 9004 did not fit, so I would get them first or at least see it in person and measure. For the volume, the 9004 is a reasonable option if it will fit, but you may be better off with a sump and a larger sump skimmer if it will be frag intensive.
