Skimmer help
Looking to get a new skimmer for my 70 gal Cadlights system with 30 gallon sump. Skimmer section measures 11x7. What skimmer would you recommend?

I've been very happy with a bubble magus curve 5 on my 80G tank..
But I think its right at the 7" mark.. so I'm not sure how accurate your measurement is or not.. If its more than 7 it should work

Ditto on the BM Curve 5. Mine is placed diagonal in the center sump section and it works like a charm.
Based on your sig are you looking to switch from a Curve 5 to something else?

No point in switching if you already have one.. Maybe they just updated their sig?

Why?
Knowing might help us make better suggestions? But the curve 5 performs just as well as any skimmer so don't expect a new one to make any difference really..

It's underperforming just a bit with my stocking levels, and I'm hoping to find a skimmer small enough to fit that will allow for a automatic neck cleaner to fit as well.

What setting # are you on? Another suggestion, carbon dosing. Add a carbon dosing regiment to see if performance improves. Simply going from say a Curve 5 to a Curve 7 (or comparable) isn't going to produce better results per se.
