Skimmer under 23 inches

jkeim1974 · 07/19/2009, 04:48 PM

I picked up a 75 gallon set up today with no skimmer and a stand that only has 23 inches of clearance. Right now it has a tide pool filter system but I'm planing on changing that to just a sump tank and maybe a refugium. Since I only plan on softies in this tank with a couple lps I did not want to go crazy. So is there anything out there descent for around 200 dollars.

I have a Euroreef 5-2 which I believe is 21". I may be selling mine but I also think you may find one in the classified sections now. Atleast I know there was one there not too long ago. You have lots of options but stay away from the sea clone and Prizm skimmers. I'm sure others will chime in with their preference.
