Skimmer advice

[tehawesome]

Hey guys, so im setting up a new 20 long reef tank with a 20 long as sump.
My question was whats the best skimmer i could get for that aquarium. I would prefer a in sump skimmer, i have about 9"x9" inside my sump for the skimmer. Any help would be great.

Yea I was looking at the needle wheel for up to 100 gallons but I wasn't sure if it would fit.

you could go with the 120 cone. I have the 160. Haven't used it yet but "dough" has one on his reef tank and it is super quiet and skims very well. There is a thread on RC that has a lot of info on them. I'm really looking forward to seeing mine in action

Okay I measured it again when I got home and its actually 8"x12" so I got a little extra room. That octopus would work fine then wouldn't it? You wouldn't happen to have a link to it would you?

Ill probably go with the octopus, due to lack of funds. Thanks for all the help and links.
