I am setting up a 57g fiji cube int with 20g fiji cube sump (total ~ 70g); looking for skimmer recommendations and considerations. The tank is going to be a mixed reef with softys, LPS and maybe 6 fish.
The sump's skimmer footprint is 8.1" x 14.2 and accommodates water level from 5" - 12".
I have been looking at:
