Need help picking an in tank skimmer

[Rickdareefa]

Hey guys I would like to add a protein skimmer to my fowler tank it's a 46 gallon bow front. I know nothing about these in tank skimmers. I would like it to be small and mount inside the tank so I don't have to worry about it overflowing. It's in my bedroom would like it to be at least semi quiet. Any suggestions? Do these nano skimmers even work?

Tunze 9004 I think is the model. Been using one for almost two years and love it. Definitely quiets as far as a skimmer goes

Any of the Tunze in tank skimmers are great. People complain that they're hard to disassemble for cleaning but I've never been troubled by them. There are some breakable parts but that's true on pretty much all skimmers (I'm looking at you ceramic impellers!). I know @dball711 runs Tunze on his systems and likes them and his results are pretty great.

Thats i've been running on my all in ones. They make great skimmers, running a 9410 in my 80g, 9012 in my 60g. Again both tanks are AIO's.

This tank is not an all in one so I decided to go with an eshopps psk-75h. I liked the slim design that fit behind my display without pushing my tank further out, I read some good reviews on it and it also comes with an emergency overflow fitting which I ran into a five gallon bucket under the stand
