In-line protein skimmers

marinereef01 · 11/29/2013, 04:41 PM

Is there anything out there where a protein skimmer could be plumbed in-line? I dont have a sump and don't like the RSM 250 stock skimmer but have a master pump that runs a chiller, UV light and would be nice to attach a protein skimmer with those. Possible?

no but there is external which could work. You will need to put it on a shelf beside the tank so the outlet water from the skimmer drains into the back chamber of the red sea max. Or a hang on skimmer
