Skimmer for Aqueon Proflex Model 3 Sump
Hi, got a used Proflex 3 sump a few weeks ago, and can't find any good skimmers that are compact and affordable for a 110 gallon reef. The compartment it is going in is 8.5x 13.75. I am looking for something under $200 dollars. Only thing I could find is Coralife 125, but I haven't heard very good things about it.... Ideas?
Thanks Edit. My Supreme 18 return pump takes about 4 inches...

A good friend of mine just got this sump for Christmas, we managed to fit a reef octopus nwb-150 by locating the return pump (mag 9.5) externally.

What size tank are you running? Are you using the "middle" chamber for the skimmer?

No, I am using the last Compartment for it. Middle is a refugium.

I love my proflex sump 4. well, except for a couple things.
I had to modify my 72g bowfront stand to cram the #4 in. but it was worth it. If you move that adjustable wall to between the second and last compartments, to get a stable water level for your skimmer. I've got an ATB 840 econocone that fits like a glove.

How do you move it into the last compartment if there is no holes to put screws in?
