WTB Skimmer for 33 g cube

[KathyC]

I'm looking for a skimmer that would be appropriate for a 33 g cube.
Thanks!

Hang-On-Back or in sump?

 

[Deanos]

In-sump, hang-on or external? Any preference?

 

[KathyC]

I would prefer HoB as it would be easier to clean.
Can also live with in sump if it fits...the sump is 13" high with headroom above it of an additional 6 inches at it's lowest point (a brace).

 

[cali_reef]

So you have 19" of height under your stand to work with?

 

[KathyC]

It's 19" at the lowest point under the stand due to the bracing under there.
Most of the area under the stand is 23" high that could be utilized for an in-sump model, including the wiggle room needed to lift the cup.

I have a CSS Skimmer. It's not the greatest of skimmers but it worked great on my 46g. The only reason I'm getting rid of it is my g/f got me a H&S for my B-day so it's just sitting looking for a new owner.

Can find the sale link here

You want a HoB skimmer if you plan to use the sump as a fuge. You told me you were using a HoB skimmer. I did not build it to accomodate a skimmer, I don't think there is room for an in sump skimmer. I don't remember the dimesions of any of the chambers, we might be able to mount another baffle to run a skimmer in it, but I can't guarantee it.

Loveitsoft, Vision, what are the footprints of your skimmers?

 

[KathyC]

Just to clarify -- Psycho Graphic designed & built my fuge for this tank based on a HoB skimmer that I already had. I have since discovered the skimmer I have is inadequate for this tank.
My fault!

If anyone else answers with an in-sump skimmer for sale, please list the dimensions of the footprint, if possible.

Psycho - I'll email you the chamber measurements. Thx!

I have a prizm for sale ($40)... not a great skimmer, but it's cheap and does the job ok.

Comes with a pump? I'll take it if Kathy don't want it.

I've decided on the Urchin Pro through Loveitsoft.

Thanks to all who responded!
