I am adding a sump soon and changing my skimmer out for one that is in sump. My tank is a 33g Long reef and I am adding a little 10g sump. could anyone suggest a decent skimmer for under 200 bucks? thanks in advance
 
:( I know I wish I could have bigger but it is all that will fit under my tank
 
Can I maybe suggest something. If I had a 33 gallon tank I would go without a skimmer. Smaller tanks that size will be OK just doing PWC`s. If you want one go ahead but IMO not needed for that size tank. Not having one will leave you more room in your sump for more water volume. Solely JMO
 
No I appreciate it I would rather do without one. So if I dont have a skimmer should I just do partial water changes about twice a week or once or? Atm I am doing them about once every 10 days. I have a skimmer on it atm though but its not a great one.
 
I agree 7-10 days will be fine. If you already have one on then just leave it on. It might not be much (your opinion) but I`m sure it`s skimming some. If that should ever mess up you dont need another one.
