Angry Need a skimmer!!!

I'm going away for 3 weeks,a friend is coming over to check the tank but I'm afraid my exterior skimmer will flood my appartment while im gone and well.. I need an In-sump skimmer

90g SPS reef heavy stocked

it needs to be max 22 tall, less than 14 inches long and less than 12 deep

Here are a few options:

Depending how much you want to budget for it. But for that price range, that's not a bad skimmer at all from the reviews. I am not the most bias person to be asking.

Nothing it's just that I want an insump skimmer for the looks Beside the tank is in my room and that the fact that I'm going away and my friend knows nothing about tanks she will only feed the fish and top off... If the cup overflows it will overflow in the sump.. so I don't have to worry about a smelly carped and mad neighbors :P

+1, you can even vent the top with a charcoal filter.

well it looks like your skimmer has a drain hole connected to a 1 gallon container. why not just put a larger bucket in there instead of modding it into a collection cup.
