Need help finding the best skimmer to fit in a tight spot

KURTIS T · 05/23/2006, 10:30 AM

Currently I'm using a euroreef rs5-2 (rated for 75 gallons). It's a great skimmer but it is proving to be too small for my tank....120 gal tank 50 gal refugium.

A problem I have with the Euro-reef is the water level....it requires the water level be at around 8 inches....I have it located in a spot that is 13 inches deep. To deal with the water depth I placed a couple bricks under the skimmer. That works but it makes servicing the skimmer a little more difficult.

So in short, I need the skimmer to;

fit in a 10"x14" spot

work in 13" of water

be as maintance free as possible

supply the most skimming possible

thank you aor any help
