  Protein Skimmer for 750 ltr system

  Posted: January 10th, 2012, 9:20pm CST by coralline

  Hi guys,
  
  Does anyone out there have a good protein skimmer (internal) which will run a 750 ltr system (moderatly stocked), but the problem is that it needs to be no more than 50 cm tall, and have a foot print of no more than 24 X 50 cm. this will be in-sump, the water level in the skimmer compartment will be 25cm deep.
  
  The relatively restricted height of my sump cabinet is a major issue for me, and I have no space to put an external skimmer. If it helps, I'll post a thread to show the tank design etc.
  
  I've seen some Skimz, Tunze and Reef Octopus skimmers which look 'short' enough to fit, so if anyone has a suitable one to sell, please let me know. Otherwise, I'm going to attempt a DIY skimmer, but I don't feel like endless hours of tinkering and fiddling only to eventually give up and buy one anyway:lol:.
  
  Thanks ;)
