Ok folks, nice one if you can answer this........
Ive been to see the tank im gettin and its perfect, meant to be pickin it up on sunday, just one snag.......
The inside vertical measurment of the cabinet is 57 cm, give or take a few millimetres.
Now im goin to stand my skimmer in the sump (allow 10mm for glass) and was goin to get a Deltec 600 or a Turbo floater 1000.
Problem is they are both 60 cm high. AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!
Also i suppose i would require some clearence above, oh poo!!!
So they are out of the question, therefore do you know of a equivelent skimmer, a mate said he reckons the MC500 maybe alright?????? Im about to look it up.
The fella who owns the tank used to have a prisim skimmer in there (he ran a reef) but what do you think of those? Personally im not sure about em, what ja reckon?
In case you wanna know the tank holds about 40 uk gallons and the sump about 15 uk gallons maybe 20.
I want the highest possible standard of water quality available and really dont wish to cut corners in that department.
Do you think the prisim is any good?
Or what about the MC500?
Know any others that will fit?
Ive now gotta decide whether i get the tank or not. The skimmer outside the tank is not an option.
Mucho Thanks in advance..........
