Recomend me a small footprint skimmer

[kmu]

Hi guys, what skimmers are there that require small footprints or space on a sump?

for a 100g to 140g system

So far the Deltec MC-500 is winning with a 8.2" long x 3.5" wide footprint rated at 100g and $445

Take a quick look at the new Marineland skimmer at Drs FosterSmith site. Footprint is as small as you can get, I think.

I use a BK 200 mini, it does a great job and has a small footprint.

Check out AquaC EV series. That's the reason I got my ev-120.

AquaC Urchin-Pro might be one of the smallest as far as foot print vs efficiency, goes inside the sump, and it will do a good job in a medium loaded tank.

Tunze DOC line.

I've used the Tunze DOC 9010, which worked ok, but the build quality seems cheesy given the cost. It was very stable and wasn't over sensative, builds a head pretty quickly.

I eventually replaced it with a Bubble King Mini 160 which is a beast for the small footprint, 7.5"x7.5". If you have never seen a Bubble King skimmer in person, you are missing out. I dare you too look at one first hand and not buy it. You see where the money goes.

You can also check out the Elos skimmers. I have not used one, but they have a ridiculously small footprint and apparently are great performers as they are paired with the high end Elos tanks.
