I am seeking words of wisdom.
Is it better to have a protein skimmer in-sump model or in-line?
In-Sump
+ Takes less room
+ Needs less plumbing
- Performance varies as water rises and falls
- Sump water level may need to be at a specific height (like 8 inches for Euro-Reef), so your sump needs to support that level
In-Line
- More plumbing, which means more possible points of failure.
+ Not sensative to the water leve in sump
Any thing else that needs consideration?
