Skimmer Help Needed

jobu28 · 09/16/2014, 07:23 PM

I have a 150g FO system. The tank is 36x36x30. I only have 34" of space under the stand so I had limited sump choices as most rated for this size tank were 36" long. With internal return pump the available space I have for a in sump skimmer is approximately 12x8.5 or so with a height of 24". I may be able to push the pump over a bit to get to 9 or so. Also have a water level of 7 3/4 or so. So what do you guys think is the best compact skimmer for my situation?
