I'm looking for an in sump skimmer. I have never had one but have a 105 gallon tank. I don't have a lot of extra money right now so would like to stay around 50 bucks if there is anything even in that range out there.

Thanks
Jeff

It depends on the sump dimension, especially the skimmer compartment within the sump.

I have a remora that I used in my sump but it's only rated for 75-80 gal. Also an hob reef octopus rated for 125-150 gal. It can be modified to be used in sump too.

How would I have to modify it. I have no room to hang anything on the outside of the sump? If it could fit entirely on the inside I may be interested.

Depends on the water level.

I have a rs200 sump from eshopps, about ten inches of water in the skimmer compartment. I dont think I can make it work.
