Other skimmers can be used with this system should you choose to do so.
Please note that these systems are not in stock. When you order we will discuss pump options, skimmer choice, space requirements, aquarium bulkhead sizes, etc. In other words we will build what you need, you do not have to accept a "generic" built sump/refugium as others offer.
