Help needed on Weipro Protein Skimmer

[Marine_Tank]

Calling on all Weipro protein skimmer users,

Can anyone advise whether Weipro 2011/12/13/14 can be fitted into my tank pump chamber which is only 13.5cm (L) x 28cm ( x 70cm (H). Don't have the priviledge of a sump for the Weipro. I am thinking of getting one considering the price vs value of this skimmer.

Btw, can the water outlet be directed into the pump chamber instead of the main tank. Reason is becos' I am afraid the water may overflow in my main tank if the flowrate is too fast and secondly, I guess maybe I have limited overhead space if the protein skimmer is hanged inside the pump chamber. Can't hang it inside the main tank becos' of aesthetic reasons and there is no other place to hang in my built-in customised tank.

Attached thread below is a schematic diagram of my customised tank.

Have bought one skimmer - Turbo C but found that it cannot be fitted in the limited space of my pump chamber and it has been lying there since day 1.

Appreciate all your great help.

Thanks.

how big is your tank? hmmm 3 ft? im using 2011 for my 3 footer.. but im ovedriving it with a pump that is stronger then what is used to power a 2014... nice skimmate..

hmmm but i'll say if you're having a 3ft tank, get a 2012/3, 4ft -> 2014 anything bigger than 4 ft --> aquaC!! unless u want to use 2 2014s lah..
