Is there room under your tank to install a wet/dry filter. If so you might be able to use that with an overflow and run the skimmer on the wet/dry. How tight is aquarium to wall..3"-4"??

Hi lance
![]() Check out this thread, according to Doug the tunze skimmer sits inside the tank and looks just like an overflow box http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=30063 Last edited by marie; 02-04-2008 at 10:11 PM. |

Hi Marie. I checked out the thread you gave, and that is an option. I e-mailed D & D Marine Ent. for more info on the sump-less skimmer, and also placed a thread on reef central. I'll wait a couple of days to see if I can find some answers. Thanks for the help.

why not use a hang-on-tank skimmer, on the side instead of the back?

are any of the walls against the tank adjacent to a room that could house a sump? You could run a remote sump with pipes going through a wall behind the tank? It'd be nice and quiet too then

Deltec MC-500, i'm pretty sure you can hang inside the tank, and it has rather slim dimensions

I just bought one of these on Ebay (New in the box.. hopefully arriving this week) for $75.00 and it's supposed to be quite slim on the back of the tank.
Not sure where it fares in the grand scheme of protein skimmers but as a newbie who's getting into this slowly I didn't want to fork out $500 for a megaskimmer! Let us know what you decide on.
