Helping choosing in SUMP skimmer, small footprint / inexpensive please...

I love my sump

Greeting's - I would recommend a "Trigger Systems Sump", I love mine and its on a 90 gallon. Great craftsmanship, and the people there are wonderful and stand-by their product. I know you mentioned your budget, but for a little more you'll get a sump you won't regret a year down the line.

Thanks Todd! Honestly leaning very heavily towards this skimmer. Seems like for such a small footprint, it does alot and thats my biggest issue is footprint..!

Any chacne you can tell from the link if its the same pump as what you have?
All I see is : Pump specs: 110-120V/60Hz 45.5watt, 2650 L/h.

P.S. now I know who to bother once I actually get my hands on this..

 

I would check out the bubble magus NAC series, I run the NAC-6 on my 75, it has a small footprint, pulls a TON of skim, and literally is dead silent, I thought it wasn't on when I first got it but saw the bubbles to reassure me it was

 

Heard this is a good skimmer but also heard it needs around 12 inch water level... That may be a problem where as the SC150 is good around 8-10...

I could be mistaking...
