    I have a wet/dry with about 10"X6" of sump area left where I can put a skimmer. I was hoping you all could recomend a skimmer that might fit into that space or one that I can mount outside the sump. Any help would be great.

    All ASM skimmers have a foot print bigger than the space I have. Is there any way to plumb it outside the skimmer?

    Do not attempt to use the ASM out of any sump they has leaking issues that are still in production.

    What is the area you are tring to fit this skimmer in. I have a G3 in a 10gal area and it works great. Give a little more info on the area and the dimensions of the area and someone should be able to help you out.
