Need opinions on this skimmer......

I'd wait a while untill you can afford a sump setup trust me I learned the hard way.

Ive found a 15 gallon sump with Eheim pro pump, and plumbing fo 100 bucks. So the skimmer will now go in the sump

Having said that, what are thought on the turbofloater multi for 100 gallon reef??
 
Never used or heard of it but it looks like a decent skimmer. I would get a coralife ss though the one rated for 220 or if you want to spend the money a bullet. Just make sure the reutrn pump that runs the sump can handle the skimmer.

How does that create a problem??

The sump im getting only has a return pump that does 270 GPH, and an over flow that does 300 GPH. Will be more of a refuge then anything. Plus, it gives some flow to the tank. The reactor has a pump that does 550-600 GPH. How would that create a problem?? The water just goes in and out of the skimmer, and back into the sump. Am i missing something here.

Edit: After some thought, think i know what you mean. The pipe from my overflow is not going to the skimmer first, but rather straight to the sump. The skimmer is outside the sump, and has a simpe return pump, and another pipe to throw the water back into the sump. Kinda like how euroreefs work, or how HOT skimmer work.

Im assuming this should be fine then??
