Hydor or Tunze skimmer

[scunfcu]

Debating wether to get HYDor Nano slim skimmer (rated up to 35g) or Tunze DOC 9004 (15g-65g) protein skimmer for 75g LPS reef tank.

I want a small skimmer (12 inch) that can be installed either in-tank or in-sump. May go sumpless down the line.

Is it doable to use theseskimmer (rated only up to 35g/65g) on a 75g? My tank doesn't have a huge bioload ( only few LPS and couple of clowns) Feeding only flakes for fish and pellets for LPS. I have live rocks.

What is comparison between Hydor and Tunze DOC?

Not sure why you would use either skimmer as they are both very under rated for your tank size. I think since you have been here so long you should know this by now. You want a skimmer that is rated for at least DOUBLE your tank size. I would suggest definitely keeping your sump and getting a skimmer that is suitable for at least 150g. There is plenty of skimmers that can fit that foot print.

Maybe the new Cadlights pipeless one or a hang on back one.
