I have a 55 gallon tank with a sump/refugium. I'm looking to purchase a protein skimmer. The area that the protein skimmer would go has a water level of 10 inches. Most of the skimmers I've looked at recommend the water level be 4-7 inches where the skimmer sits. The only ones I've seen that have a reccomended depth of 10 or more inches are rated for tanks 200 to 300 gallons. I'm guessing that would be too much skimming for a 55 gallon tank. I was wondering if anybody had a suggestion on what I should do? Thank you.
