Skimmer for 24 g tank

primoleo · 06/10/2019, 10:34 AM

Hello,
I'm having trouble to pick the skimmer for my 24g cube tank.
It's gonna be a SPS tank. Many of them are way oversized.
It has to be in-sump skimmer.
So far I' considering:

1- Tunze 9004
2- Aquamaxx Ws-1
3 - IceCap K2-50
4 - Any other one I didn't mention here.

Thank you!

I have the WS-1 on my RSR 170 and it's a great little skimmer just like it's cousin, the HOB-1.

I have #1 and #2. Both work very well. #1 is more consistent, pretty much set and forget. #2 is produces a little less noise provided you place it on something to dampen the pump vibrations. The 8" water level in the skimmer chamber of my sump also necessitates that a sponge be placed below the discharge of the WS-1 as it creates a bit of splash and to defeat the microbubbles.
