    going to be setting up a 220 mixed reef this summer and Have a slight problem. The cabinet with this tank only gives me 20 inches of clearance inside for a sump skimmer. I wasn't sure if the 9410 would be large enough but it is one of the only skimmers that is short enough to fit and still get the collection cup off. It is rated 264 but I also plan to run a fuge with the Santa Monica HOG.5 Algae scrubber. what do you guys think?

    Assuming you're going to have live rock, which will displace a good bit of water and provide a sizable bio-filter, I believe the 9410 should be more than large enough.
