looking for a new skimmer.

I have a HOB skimmer that I'm sick and tired of so I'm looking for a good in sump skimmer.. I have read a million reviews but I would like fellow 3reefers opinions. The total water volume of my tank is 50 gallons and the deminsions of the section for the skimmer to sit is 5"x11".

Thanks in advance,
Jay

 

I know you wanted in sump but I'm gonna be trying a HOB octopus 100F in a few days, Ill post a review.

 

i will have an aquaC urchin pro by friday...tho i dont think ill have the skimmer running for about a month. i hear these things are solid, dont require specific water levels and a TINY 3.5"x7"foot print...40-125G too. this is about all thats gunna fit in that sump section. check it out!

 

yea i am trying to get away from a HOB, i had this one before i got a sump/fuge. but goodluck and let us know how it works out.

 

even if you want a sump model octopus is a very popular brand I would check out some of there other models. check out the videos of them on youtube.

 

let me know man. that is a good footprint for my sump. i have heard great things about the Remora.

 

it is a remora, just with an intake designed for in sump use. spray injection technology seems to be pretty fail-safe!

 

thanks for the suggestions guys, hopefully i will make a decision soon, im really tired of seeing this eye soar of a skimmer in my DT.

 

GL man, im sure you'll make the right decision!
