A newbie here. Setting up a FOWLR tank in my old 65 gallon tank. No sump and the tank has braces, so difficult to put anything HOB. Will probably add a sump in the future. Since they're expensive and most recommend in-sump models, I would like to ask what problems there are if I put an in-sump protein skimmer in the display tank aside from it not looking good, assuming I put it at its recommended water level. Do most in-sump skimmers have sufficient inlet cover to not suck fish in? Or are bubbles going to be too numerous in the display tank that might affect the well-being of the fish there or is it just an aesthetic problem? Am thinking of getting a Bubble Magus Curve 5 skimmer.
