Protein Skimmer suggestions please

[newbreefr]

Currently in the process of building a 40 breeder tank, my first saltwater tank. I’m looking to get some suggestions on a protein skimmer. Will be going into a 20g long sump. Was going to get bubble magus curve 5 but recommended height is 9.5”-11” and my baffles will be 9”

Overkill for a 40B but i would go with something like this. Small enough for your sump but large enough to be useful when you upgrade... Also ideal water depth need.

The varios dc pump is very quiet and allows speed adjust, 1 to 5.

Get a DC skimmer with a controllable pump. Quieter and control makes all the difference!
