    To all marine experts :

    May I know where I can get a skimmer which uses a powerhead that can fit into my internal overflow sump??? I tried looking around but always see all those big types. Dont have small ones. I dont like to get those air operated ones as I think it cant skim my 3ft marine tank.


    Anybody got any good and cheap recommendations to get a small one which will fit into mine internal overflow sump???

    If not got any drawings on how to DIY one???

    Hi Adrian,

    Got your skimmer yet??
    Saw your tank pics.. understand why you would require a smaller skimmer fed by a powerhead..

    I have a similar setup and this is what I do...
    Purchase a Macro (Taiwan made) venturi skimmer.
    Get a high volume output submerged pump with a tee off (control valve on one of the outlets.. and feed the other outlet to the skimmer.

    Can now control the amount of water flow into the skimmer..
