Closed Loop Protein Skimmer/Filtration

[atoz1to4]

Dumb question from a rookie. I built my stand before I fully researched what I needed for filtration and I am running short on space for a sump large enough to include the protein skimmer. Does anyone make a protein skimmer that can go in the cabinet similar to a cannister type filter (self contained)? Tank is 72 g bowfront planning on a fowlr. I have been trying to figure out how to do the filtratation for the past year and a half. I would like to try and keep everything contained inside the cabinet so it is not visible on the outside. Suggestions or ideas would be well appreciated.

Thanks Charlie

Check out marinedepot.com and see if you can find a skimmer with the dimensions you need.

The AquaC EV-120 is farily small yet powerful (~21 inches). MRC's are huge. That's all I know off the top of my head.

Nice cabinet work! Take a look at the EuroReef products too. We ran a EuroReef under our 75g in a 20g sump for years. We had the EuroReef, a small refugium, heater, and MAG9.5 in there without any problems.
