skimmer for cube

[harsaphes]

hello all, i am going to be setting up a custom buit cube, with built in sump/fuge area(the back of the tank). The actual live stock area is 26x20x20 and the fuge area is 6x20x20. I am thinking of putting a Tunze skimmer in the fuge area. Any ideas on make and model? thankyou

just to clarify. the entire tank is 26 inches long, the back 6 inches is the fuge area.

The 3115/2 would be a good choice, the 3130/2 would be more powerful.

what are the dimensions of those skimmers? thankyou

 

[rvitko]

About 5" square and 15" tall, 10-11" submerged.

 

[harsaphes]

so 10-11 submerged means exactly what?......if the fuge section of my tank is 20 high, what depth of water do i need to baffle off for it?

 

[rvitko]

It will clamp on the side, the skimmer cup and about 1" of the body has to be above the water. You really shouldn't need a baffle if the whole thing is full and the tank does not have any perimeter braces. If it is just a straight glass tank it will work fine.
