Bubble magus curve 5 alternatives
Hi all,
Got the above skimmer for my new evolution aqua 450s. Unfortunately it's footprint is too big. Not unboxed so hopefully I can return. I'm really sad as read some great things about it! Any good alternatives? Sump is 14.5 cm wide, water depth around 17 cm. 101 litre in total. Thanks |

Yikes that is about as small of a footprint as you're fine. The SCA skimmers are a little smaller though. though the pump is a little weaker

100 litres is about 20g. That Curve 5 would have been WAY too big for it anyway. I'm running a Curve 5 on my 40b with a 30g sump and it's just a touch too big.
On a system that size and with that little room, look at the Tunze 9004. They just released a DC version. Or the Bubble Magus NAC 3.5 if you have the length in the skimmer section. Is this an AIO tank? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You should be able to fit the Bubble Magus NAC3.5 in the 1st chamber where the filter sock is.
