Flash21 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Looking to get a Skimmer for my WaterBox. I was looking at the Tunze 9004 comline. Anyone have any input? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R-3 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I saw these at Macna. Super small footprint. Seem to work really well for what I saw. Not sure what your water level is like but you could research that a little more. https://premiumaquatics.com/products/bubble-magus-z5-protein-skimmer.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Z Reef Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Nano skimmers are all a bit finicky but I liked the tunze 9004. I had it on a frag tank for a while and it did better than I thought it would. The only adjustment on them is restricting the air inlet or the height of the whole skimmer. Overall I think they are a better buy than the problematic ghost skimmers. They also make a DC version now, not sure how much that would help, you’d probably be fine with the standard on a smaller tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmas_one Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 How big is it? My opinion on small skimmers on small tanks: Small skimmers do not skim very well. Usually you will be better off on small tanks just doing water changes, and/or running media to export nutrients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrabbyCrabs Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I have a ghost skimmer on a nuvo 20 that works excellent, better than the skimmer on my red Sea max nano. Been problem free for over 6 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
