I have a 125 gallon 6' long tank with an eshopps rs300 sump and a psk 150 protein skimmer. I want to add a better Protein skimmer and a refugium. What is the best way to go about this. I have 25" in height for a skimmer. Also my sumps first chamber has a 16 x 14 open footprint and the second chamber has a 10 x 14 footprint. Not sure if i should get an in sump protein skimmer or an external skimmer. Any info is greatly appreciated.

+1 cathic, Yea i would get a in sump skimmer. Buy a protien skimmer that is going to work. Reef octopus Skimmers are very good. I have had two and they both work great.

I have a NWB-150. Rated for 150 gallon. It works like a charm. It's about 19 inches high. I plan on using it in a 125 gallon in the future so I think that would be suitable.

I would suggest trying to get a skimmer rate for twice your water volume, but the reef octopus skimmers are great
