Dual Undersized Protein Skimmers?

[TheReefDiary]

So my AIO doesnt really fit any protein skimmers. I currently have a bubble magus that is rated up to 20g. my tank is 40g. can i get away with running two of these skimmers or do i just need to go with the larger HOB skimmer?

What is the size of the chamber you are putting the skimmer in?

I run this on my 55g frag with a 23g total water volume sump depending on the chamber size this thing is a beast tbh and has worrked out awesome so far.

its an IM Nuvo 40l so i think the second chambers are right under 4 inches width and length. so currently my bubble magus mini q would fit and its a great skimmer. just not sure id want to take up both chambers with a protein skimmer

im going to look into this one for sure though. dont love that its white, but looks like it would do the job

3.8in might work and can be modified if needed if its a snug fit could ultinately rest it on the pump it does have rubber feet. I was very impressed was a tester for ioaoi on this one and it is pulling great skimmate so far easy to tune as well with the dc controller.

just use the one rated for 20 gallon. You are not building a piece of precision equipment. Close should be good enough.
