Small footprint skimmers

[Reefheart]

After doing some research into small footprint skimmers to fit my small sump, I came across a few options:

1. Eshopps S-120
2. Deltec 600i/SC1351
3. Tunze 9012

Any comments between these 3 or any other better alternatives within the price range that I missed?

Cheers.

Add Aquamaxx WS-1. Great little skimmer.

How big is your tank?

Sorry, should have included that info - my tank is 50g.

The skimmer compartment approx 6.5" x 9".

Look at the IceCap K2-120. It has a footprint of 5.1"x7" and comes with a standard Sicce PSK-200 needlewheeel pump. Also constructed of thick cast acrylic and titanium screws. Don't pay attention to its ratings as I t has a 4 inch or so diameter body so it would be perfectly sized for a heavily stocked 50 gallon tank IMO.

Thanks for all the suggestions! Seem like there is a decent number of options to consider

Deltec is a great skimmer used one in my small setup and one dialed in no problems

You could also look at the Icecap K1 130. it has a footprint of 7.3" x 5.6". That is the one I am going to use on my new 90 mixed reef.

I love the Tunze 9012. I have one skimming my 200 gal and 150 gal mixed reefs both with fairly heavy fish load. And even the acros do well. Both are sumpfree in tank setups. Simple and floodfree. Roger at Tunze provides unparalleled customer service. He advised me to go for the dc version as it is more adjustable and more powerful

Believe or not, I actually managed to squeeze in a Tunze 9410 skimmer into that space. But I had to push the outlet pipe and pump intake close to each other.

The Tunze 9410 is one helluva skimmer. Good choice!

I'm leaning toward a Deltec myself. 600i or the newer version.

Almost sounds like I should look at the RO 110 space saver!
