I'm going away for 3 weeks,a friend is coming over to check the tank but I'm afraid my exterior skimmer will flood my appartment while im gone and well.. I need an In-sump skimmer :cry:

90g SPS reef heavy stocked

it needs to be max 22 tall, less than 14 inches long and less than 12 deep http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/images/smilies/cool.gif

That's what I'm thinking :biggrin:

Do you have any experiece with th SWC skimmers?
Or any other skimmer that may work for me... I'm currently skimmerless :neutral:

Depending how much you want to budget for it. But for that price range, that's not a bad skimmer at all from the reviews. I am not the most bias person to be asking.

Thanks, the price range is around 350 :neutral: Hopefully someone else will chime in :mrgreen:

What's wrong with your octo?

[dynamite]

Nothing it's just that I want an insump skimmer for the looks :mrgreen: Beside the tank is in my room and that the fact that I'm going away and my friend knows nothing about tanks she will only feed the fish and top off... If the cup overflows it will overflow in the sump.. so I don't have to worry about a smelly carped and mad neighbors :P

what about modding the collection cup? to a 5gallon pail?

+1, you can even vent the top with a charcoal filter.

well it looks like your skimmer has a drain hole connected to a 1 gallon container. why not just put a larger bucket in there instead of modding it into a collection cup.

Because the tank is in my room and it will look uglier LOL I got a quote for a cabinet to hide the skimmer and it's half of the price of a new one.

And since i'm going away I won't have to worry about it going crazy :mrgreen:
