Hmm...That why you suggested me to save the $ on the additional cost for the reno right Bro.

$$$ is one thing... look at the drawing u drawn... it's gonna be one-hell-of-an-ugly cabinet... like a traditional Chinese Prayer Altar (San Toi in Canto)... only in white, lol. So plan properly :P

My only rationale of having a in-tank protein skimmer is... if "suay suay" the cup got overflow... at least the water will go back into the tank instead of flooding my floor and furniture. And in many cases, protein skimmers can quite unpredictable when it comes to forming of bubble... esp after water change and dosing.

Tunze skimmer is good IMO... one of the main components of a good skimmer is actually the pump design and construction. When it comes to pump (of that size and capacity)... there are only a handful of producers out there that can rival Tunze's superiority. I suggest u check the Tunze Nano skimmer out... have not seen it in person, but so far... I have not come across a Tunze that doesn't work properly.

Yes Bro. Draw to scale.

Took me 4 hr to use excel to draw rectangle and circle (1cm to 1 box) :paiseh:

I looking from Reef Deport -

Tunze DOC Skimmer - 9005 @ S$379.00; with DOC Skimmer Extension Set 9005.40 @ should be less tha $80

Details:

The new Tunze® skimmer of series 9000 contains a Tunze® Hydrofoamer. A pressure pump is used to produce the air bubbles directly at a new high-performance nozzle. The air bubbles range between 0.1 and 0.4 mm (.0039 and .0157 in.) in diameter. DOC skimmer has a very high capacity at a minimum of space required and power consumed. The air ouput is 650 l/h (171 US gal./h) at a power consumption of 21W. These devices take the lead in today's motor-driven skimmers for marine aquariums.

The advantages:

- at an immersion dept of 240 to 290 mm (9.4 to 11.4 in.), the DOC skimmer can be used for skimming in containers or cabinet filters with variable water levels of 100 to 280 mm (3.9 to 11 in.)

- air generation by Hydrofoamer fitted with a high-performance nozzle.

- easily removable skimmer cup.

- automatic cleaning action of the air router when the skimmer cup is removed.

- extremely low noise and compact size.

- principle of open water circulation.

- supplied with all cleaning accories.

- special nipple for the connection of ozone.

Recommended for aquariums up to 500 l (132 US gal.) of salt water.

Dimentions: L125 X W113 x H378 mm (L4.9 x W4.4 x H14.8 in.)

Pump wattage: 12 W

Voltage / Frequency: 230 V / 50 Hz

Water throughput: 800 l/h (211 US gal./h); air capacity: 500 l/h (132 US gal./h); skimmer cup volume: .4 l (.10 US gal.).

Equipped for operation in the aquarium. For operation in an aquarium cabinet, use DOC Skimmer Extension Set 9005.40 in addition.

Bro the picture shown is a sump model (with suction cups at the bottom). You need to hang it on the side of ur tank. And that sponge is not needed as it is very awful looking. Just the bare 9005 willdo the job well.

Looks like u still have a couple of inches in front to play with rockscaping.

One thing to take note of is... check the diameter of the collection cup. If the cup is wider than the body, you may have a bit of wasted space when fit into the tank coz u can't flush the skimmer to the corner. Best is drop by RD to check for urself, I'm sure they have stock.
