Is the 9010 best for me?

[jade2122]

I am looking to get a tunze skimmer for xmas, and doing my research now to decide which one is best for me. I have a 65 gallon sps tank, with med fish load. The area in my sump for the skimmer has a constant water level of 13 in. but I can make a shelf if need be to raise up the skimmer, my space available is 10 x 7. Height shouldn't be an issue. So would 9005 or 9010 be best? Thanks I can't wait to get one!

The 9010 would be my recomendation, mainly because you will be using it in sump and SPS need a stronger skimmer.

What water level does the 9010 need? That way I can start my measuring and preparations. Can't wait to see the difference the skimmer makes, currently running a coralife "super" skimmer 65.

Ideally set up for in sump use you would have it submerged 6-10"
