Skimmer recommendations

[snakeblitz33]

Hi all,

I am searching around for some skimmer recommendations. I have used quite a few different skimmers over the years and I'm in the market for a new one. Here are the dimensions of the skimmer section of my sump:

8" by 11.5" base maximum
25.5" max height (that's touching the bottom of the display tank.
9.5" constant water depth.

If I have to fit it into the second sump chamber, it's 14" by 11.5" footprint, but I would like to keep it in the first chamber if possible.


I can't find a skimmer that can match those height and water depth restrictions. Any help finding one for a 75g SPS reef tank would be helpful.

I would also like to ask if anyone things biopellet reactors are still all the rage and worth experimenting with or not...

I'm shocked you're not going to DIY a skimmer.

I thought about that route. But by the time I bought materials and a pump, I wouldn't be saving much money.

Someone recommended a reef octopus space saver 110sss.

snakeblitz, I just bought that skimmer for 229 I think it was plus tax. It was a very easy assemble and is very quiet. I have it in 7 to 8 inches of water depending on my sump level. Within 24 hours it was starting to break in and pulling alot of skim.
This skimmer replaced a piece of crap SeaClone which PetSmart took back after running it for 2 months lol.
