Help picking new skimmer (icecap advice)

[Jjd531]

Hello, I'm looking to upgrade my current skimmer, I'm using a Reef Glass skimmer on my 20T reef its located in my 10 gallon sump. Right now I'm looking at the icecap k1 nano, or the k250. The k250 would be very tall but it wouldn't bother me aesthetically as it's under the stand but I'm not sure the water level would be high enough in the sump regardless of what chamber I put it in, it would probably be better for my bio load as well. Any advice from anyone using one in a sump would be nice. In the 20t I have over 80 corals, sps, Lps, softies, and have a Dottyback, a bengali cardinal, 2 snowflake davinci clowns, and a damsel. So I would definitely consider this tank to have a large bio load, my nitrates and phosphates not too bad and I have a ton of filtration but would like a nice skimmer. If you think the k1 nano would be sufficient let me know but I feel like it wouldn't. I'm open to suggestions for other skimmers as well, the body of the k250 is 4.75×3.5" and that is really really pushing it, I have to measure my sump again to be sure and I'd have to rearrange things but If water height won't be an issue I think k2 if not k1 is a good choice.

Bump...I see no one seemed to have an answer for this particular skimmer brand. Maybe someone tonight will know more about this one.

I don't have experience with that skimmer but icecap makes good products. How about a AquaMaxx NF-1 Nano Protein Skimmer? This one has a Sicce pump.

Hello thanks for the replies but I decided to go with the nano versus the k2-50 because I was worried my bio load might cause issues for a skimmer too big vs too small, so far I really like it, it wasnt so big it required major rearrangement of my sump, and I just gotta get it all dialed in properly and what not so I'm getting good skimmate. Seems like nice build quality but my only complaint is it's a little noisy definitely my loudest piece of equipment, but isn't more than air/humm/light bubbling noise.
