As I have mentioned before I'm setting up a fowlr tank. It's a 36gal bow front, I previously thought it was a 40gal but then started to do some measuring. Im limited to a sump that is 13.25" x 9.5" and it can be really any height up to 26".. I have my eye on the bubble magus nac3.5 protein skimmer which is 6.6"x4.5" and I can pick one up for around $150 an hour drive from me (new). Any suggestions on anything else I can do with this small of a sump other then slap a devidor, pump, heater in it? My plan is to not have any other form of filtration other then a skimmer, lots of live rock and water flow. But if there is any ideas of a way to maybe add some extra filtration in this sump let me know! Also is there any suggestions on other skimmers and on a good compact pump and what GPH I need for this to work. Im going to be drilling my tank. Suggestions on bulk head size for the inlet and outlet would be greatly appreciated as well. Thanks so much!
