Small in-sump skimmer

[Critter]

What's a good small in-sump skimmer... it's a 20gal with 10gal sump. There will be a couple fish and some corals. thanks

I did a similar set up and used a berlin airlift 60 skimmer by red sea driven by a coralife luft pump and it was very affective

ETSS reef devil.they are a downsized downdraft skimmer.they are high end for a smaller skimmer .they also make one called sump buddy that is a bit smaller.these are not a toy.i use them and highly recommend them

I have an aquamedic turboflotor. Not the crummy in-sump 1000. This is the HOB that you would only HOB of a sump. $75 and I'm sure we can meet halfway.

these skimmers fill the entire reaction chamber with beer like foam.very stable and really needs no adjusting.

No problem. Actually someone just bought it. But this one can be run in-sump just as easily. I always tried to maximize refugium space when I had smaller systems, and this was just the perfect solution. When I expanded my prop system to about 180G I finally made the sump area big enough to fit it, but it just wasn't enough skimmer for that much volume.
