    Would a Reef Octopus NWB 110 Needle Wheel Protein Skimmer fit into a 10 gallon sump?

    I think it may be to big, what's your opinion?


    Thanks in advance,

    I don't know the dimensions of the skimmer. A standard 10g tank is 20" X 10".

    it will be extremly tight fit, a 20L would be a better fit or a 30 breeder is a bit wider.
