Looking for skimmer recommendations for IM SR60?

[rhildinger]

Does anyone have any protein skimmer recommendations for the Innovative Marine Shallow Reef 60? It has two different sized skimmer chambers, one larger 5.9” x 4.6” x 16.1” section, and a smaller 3.1” x 4.6” x 16.1” section. IM doesn't make a skimmer specifically for this model like they do for their other AIOs, so I'm curious what others are using. I suppose I could use their "midsize" skimmer and stack it on egg crate material to achieve the correct height, but that seems inelegant...

Thanks!

Now I don't have one but I can give you recommendations. You will have to use a skimmer stand because you need the skimmer in around 8-11 inches or so depending on the model. For that footprint I would go with a tunze 9012. Anyone else have a model in mind?

I used a Tunze 9004 on my sr80. I think the chambers are the same size so it should fit perfectly in the second one.

Thanks for the recommendations! Are there any other skimmers that might be worth checking out?

I have that exact tank and use a cadlights pls50 elite 2 and it’s an amazing skimmer. Just beware tho if the pump or anything breaks on it cadlights has the worst customer service I’ve ever dealt with. That said I would still buy the skimmer again
