I would put the skimmer in the second compartment where ur biohomme would be. That space also can put ur FRs. Filter media, biohomme, coral chips in the first along with a filter pad or sock.

Are coral chips, Biohomme, etc still popular nowadays?

I thought most bros have replaced them with FR as those medias tend to accumulate detritus over time & end up becoming a nitrate factory.

I don't see any problem having both sock & skimmer in the 1st compartment if its water level is consistent, except that I'll probably have the water flow under the 1st baffle instead of over to eliminate any micro-bubbles.

Perhap you can consider sacrify a couple of inches at last compartment to make 2nd compartment bigger for additional applications.

yea it would be better if there was more space in the skimmer compartment- but overall it seems good

cheers

Is it a nano tank?

If I will you, I will re-do the partition.

Here it go,

1st chamber - 5" - underflow baffle - 1" space then another overflow baffle

2nd chamber - 7" - overflow baffle - 1" space then another underflow baffle - 1" space then another overflow baffle

3rd chamber - 6"
