I am torn between making my plumbing slightly more complicated and using an external skimmer (which I would have to buy) and larger refugium vs having a much smaller refugium and an internal skimmer (already have a BK mini 200). The tank is a 32" cube, so most likely not a lot of reefing going on (light penetration to the bottom is not an option due to heat, electrical etc...considerations). Maybe some easy stuff, but it's really meant to be a fish tank. I did some measuring and I'm pretty sure a skimz external cone that's reasonably sized will fit under the stand with the current sump. I am thinking skimz because at least based on available online measurements seem to have the most space efficient externals
