My 1st 2' IOS tank

[tunicate]

Hi All,

Firstly, I want to thank SG Reef for allowing me to register as a member. It allows a wealth of marine fish keeping information. I've stated with a small 2' IOS tank at home recently so that my whole family can enjoy the setup & learn from it.

To keep things as simple as possible, there is no chiller for this bare-bottom FOWLR tank. (Not exactly so since I've got a green plate, hammer, & mushies too But they're quite hardy)

Fishes :

1 x tomini tang

1 x maroon clown

1 x female square-back anthias

2 x Kaudern's Cardinal

3 x chromis

Inverts :

2 x cleaner shrimp

& some tiny snails from about 20kg of LR

Tank dimension : 2' x 1.5' x 1.5' (including the IOS sump at the rear)

The sump is 4" thick, hence the main display tank is only about 2' x 1'2" x 1.5'

Attached is the dimension of my sump.

Right chamber is filled with Biohome media under a layer of filter pad.

Center chamber is half filled with some LR.

For left chamber, there's a returm pump, & a Weipro 2011 skimmer hanging within. It's performance is only so so no matter how I adjust the skimmer. Thinking about upgrading to a needlewheel skimmer for better performance.

Question :

Would a Macro AS-100P fit inside my left chamber?

Cheers

Or how about a Aqua Medic Turboflotor 750?

Any idea how much these 2 skimmers cost, & where can I find them?

Thanks xersion for the advise.

I've actually considered posting there, but this posting is mainly about seeking advise on how I can upgrade my skimmer with the given space limitation.
