I have a 75 gallon reef tank that has a very small sump. I am limited in sump size because my stand won't accommodate anything larger. The stand has 3 compartments that are 15" wide x 26" tall.
I think I have a couple of options and I am not sure which is the best way to go. The first option would be a hang on the back skimmer. This would be the least exciting option because there is already to much stuff hanging around the tank, but I would consider it if that was my best option.
The second option would be a small foot print skimmer. The maximum space available would be 7" x 6".
The third option would be a stand alone external skimmer that would require me to drill through the divider and plumb the skimmer to the sump. My thought is while this may give me the best skimmer I think this may not be affordable.
If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions on the best way to proceed or specific skimmers that would work for this application I would greatly appreciate it.
