I am attempting to turn 36 corner into a reef (while I wait for my 125 to heal up from disease). The problem is it isnt RR yet, but contimplating having it drilled. Due to it being a fairly small body of water, I was thinking about a hang on Fuge. hang on skimmer (I have a redsea prism, but not sure if its any good) and a phosreactor. I have a tunze 6045 at almost 1000 gph for water movement, so I was contimplating, no sump and just fuge skimmer and good water movement.

The other reason im not sure if I can have a sump, is the stand is a bizarre AGA brand called "geneva" series and doesnt have a full cabinet section and only about 14X8inch compartment. Should I just use a small 5 gallon sump (with skimmer, reactor in there), or Hangon fuge, skimmer, phos reactor?

heres a pic, you could see problem with stand

the redsea prism skimmer is pretty terrible. i'd avoid using it if i were you

It looks pretty crappy, It came with the tank when I got it, i never used it. I guess Ill just put it on my QT and look into another good hang on, maybe AQUA C, or the DELTEC jackson suggests

I just got it priced, and Im going to have tank drilled. Im getting one inch and half hole, and im currently looking for a sump. It has to be only 8inches thin, but I can get probably 14 inches. Im looking for a thin ten gallon, or mabe I will use a rubbermaid tub that will fit, this will open up options on skimmers and keep my tank from looking like a factory with heaters, tubes and other unsightly stuff. It also keeps my water evaporation only effecting water level in the sump, rather than the main tank.
