Got my sump lighting


It's a 20gal tall with Custom Sea Life 15in 2 x 32watt Retro.





Now, I have a 11 x 9 area for a hang on skimmer (9" from wall to back of stand). I am thinking of getting a hang on because I don't want to take the sump out and drill it. Any recomendations for a skimmer? I would like to avoid a Rio pump, hehe.

Pictures are fun!

You might wanna look at a Remora Pro, should be able to handle the load easily, space wise I think its OK and less bulky and complicated than say a Red Sea Berlin HOT, better skimmer than a BakPak for that size system. Should handle larger if you upgrade in the future.
On the other hand if you get the macro refugium well populated at some point running a skimmer may be counter productive, but I like the safety margin it provides. You could even run it during the sumps dark cycle
