Skimmer suggestion please!

[jdnumis]

Thank you all for the advice on the forum. I am updating equipment and I need to get rid of my Coralife super skimmer for my 90 gallon. The only problem is, is that I need a out of sump skimmer cause that is the way it was set up when I bought the 90. Now, what would you guys suggest on a out of sump skimmer? I appreciate it. When I finally do my upgrade, I am gonna go with a in-sump skimmer.

Thanks guys,

James

Does it come with pump and can I put in in the cabinet like my other skimmer?

No you need to get a feed pump for it or feed it with your return pump and a manifold.
* Dimensions: 15?x11?x24?

* Recommend 400gph feed pump

Reef Octopus XP 1000SSS is a great skimmer, ran one on 75g display w/ 75g sump and thing was a beast!

Can I set these skimmers up as a hang on sump skimmer?

 

[MikeC]

Hang on?
external skimmers are usually placed next to the sump or can go in the sump as long as the water level(of the sump) does not cover the exiting water of the skimmer.
Your feed pump goes in the sump and into the skimmer, then a hose from the exit pipe on the skimmer back to the sump.

That's how mine is set up now. I would like to have same setup obviously with a different skimmer

IMOP a hang on skimmer for a 90 gal is not the best way to go.
Do you have a pic of your setup now?

I think I am going to consider a.....

Tunze Comline DOC Protein Skimmer 9006. Do you think I would need that extension kit for my sump?

I read the reviews but I like to hear it first hand from other reefers from MR.

Thanks,
