Help choosing a skimmer

[mike1020]

Hi i am relatively new to keeping fish. I've got a 240 litre Marine tank with the standard Juwel filter and a Fluval 400 filter but no skimmer yet I have 7 fish in the aquarium. 2 triggerfish, 2 clowns and 3 damsels so I am now looking for the right skimmer. The tank is against a wall so I can't put anything at the back and I don't want a skimmer sticking out of the top of the tank. I would preferably want the skimmer underneath the tank in the cabinet but there is space at the side for a tall skimmer. The cabinet could fit a skimmer in it which is about 60-70cm tall. I don't want a sump tank because that's just more expense and hassle. I just want a simple to install skimmer that does the job and is well concealed underneath the tank. So if anyone could recommend which skimmer will do the job i would greatly appreciate it! Also, i've heard Venturi based skimmers are meant to be the most economical as they require little maintenance. My budget is about £180(~US$280)

Thanks

Hi Mike1020 and welcome to the forum

I wish I could help answer your question, but I'm sure someone in the marine section of this forum will be able to help you.
