Small footprint skimmer?

[MrSquid]

I'm setting up a small growout system (30g tank + 17g sump) and I'm looking for a skimmer with a small footprint. Right now I'm eyeballing the Cadlights PSL-50 Elite because it's got a 3.75 x3.75" footprint (I'm limited to ~4"x5").

Any other suggestions besides the PSL-50?

I've heard mixed things on these. Although that goes for anything in this stupid hobby,

Kinda looking at the small SCAquariums skimmer. Would need to shuffle things to make the space.

Any chance of using an external skimmer? I used a cheap coralife hang on back skimmer and it worked great. Footprint was just the size of the feed pump

I know im kinda far, but I have a sca-s80 skimmer, if you interested?

I won't have room for an external. Really narrows the field for me - for better or worse.
[MENTION=5085]newtothis[/MENTION] - thanks, but the 80 is to big for what I'll be doing.

NP, have you looked at the redesigned tunze9002?

Yeah - the Tunze 9004 is a definite possibility. (the 9002 would be a little undersized)

How do your like your SCA-a80? The 60 seems to have decent reviews pretty much every were I look.

The 80 is the smallest in the sca line(although, they renamed it to 301) It work great with a little mod to the output of the pump.

Ah. I was reading those models wrong. You are about to have PM.
