Hey y’all!
So I unexpectedly received a Hello Reef AIO kit yesterday afternoon (it’s basically an AIO 15”x15”x15” cube). Apparently I won it during the BRS appreciation event last week. Anyway, since I already have a 350gal display and a 26gal nano, I’m going to set this one up as a frag/grow out tank, more than likely without any fish so I can also use it as an invert QT before things go into my other tanks. My question is, does anyone have any recommendations on which skimmer to get that will fit in the back chambers ?
I intend for the skimmer to be an aeration tool attached to a co2 scrubber more than a nutrient control tool since my home has chronically high CO2 levels (thanks to my 110lb dog and a full family of 4) and it’s unwise to open my windows given the sweltering humid heat of south florida where I live.
Thanks in advance for any advice ^_^
Cheers!

I have an IOAOI skimmer in my 2nd chamber of that tank, it works pretty well. I think it works up to 30g? Not too sure. It's worked great, and very cheap too.
Are the screws that attach to the pump actually metal? I was looking at that one but when I saw screws I was like uhhhhhh •_•’’ lol

I use a Mag-Tool Nano AIO skimmer for my 32 gallon. I’ve had it more than a year and I am very satisfied with it. I went with this option because it was slim enough for my AIO chamber.

Take a look at the Tunze Comline DOC DC 9001. It's one of the better small skimmers.

I wouldn't use a skimmer on a frag tank. All you will be doing is removing potential food.
