I need to buy a new skimmer but I want to know what is a good one without spending an arm and a leg. I have a 90 gallon tank, but I need a really small footprint. 6.5" X 7.25" X 23". The only one that I have found so far that would fit that is the SKIMZ 121 http://www.liverocknreef.com/liverock/index.php?l=product_detail&p=8805 - Here
Does anyone have any advice here? Thanks in advance for your help! |

Please feel free to post a pic of your tank. I can give you an idea of what and how much skimming will do for it.

tcfab can also custom build what you need. I think that would be your best bang for your buck. With such a small footprint I think he would be able to build much better than what you could buy for that size. Just my 2 cents ------------- 150 gallon Reef Millcreek Utah |

Zach, Here are som pictures of the skimmer I have for sale along with the sump. I will sell the skimmer and sump together for $300  Also, I looked at the link you posted about the Skimz skimmer and I think their tank size ratings are a little on the high side to be honest.   ------------- Premium aquarium filtration! |
