i run my Korilia in the middle of my tank as well, they have a more diffused flow than a standard PH and it splits the tank with nice gentle flow .......like fish by said
i don't know exactly what your looking for in a skimmer but i love the looks of ASM and Octopus skimmers, will be running a big OCT on my wall tank for sure .......big monsters though, so if room is an issue these brands may not work for ya
