my bubble magus skimmer decided to quit on me today and I am in the market for a new skimmer. I was thinking about a reef octopus in sump but am looking for suggestions.
My sump water line sits at 9 inches and I definitely want an in sump skimmer. Any ideas or suggestions?? thanks!!

why not replace the pump with a sicce pump? The SRO has to be run in 5.5-6.5 inches of water

ya I would of gone with a pc2 but space is an issue. My sumps only 10 gallons and this skimmer will just barely fit BUT it WILL fit so i went with it. and its rated for up to 200 gallons. double my water volume.
