Skimmer suggestions

[tencwhiskey]

I have a 72 gallon bow front with a 20 gallon sump. 3 chambers. Need a skimmer. The one I have now I'm not find of. Got it used. It's a Aquac urchin.

First, which chamber do you want to use? Probably the middle. Then, how big is it? How much clearance between bottom of DT and floor of sump? Remember you have to be able to get the collection cup out. Figure out which brands you might like ($, reviews), then figure out which skimmer will fit in your sump. I went with a Reef Octopus space saver internal skimmer, classic design, it does a decent job, still haven't gotten dry skim, but that may have to do with the depth of water it is in, which you need to account for also. I would also get a skimmer rated greater than your tank size, but not ridiculously so.

Sca 302! These skimmers are amazing they outperform any skimmer Iv ever had by far and Iv had some good ones, Awesome price to with a very small footprint so it should be perfect for your tank, It's rated 180 gals and I use it on my 70 gal

Do you plan to have a light or heavy bio load also depends on your spending limit???
