R-3 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Nope thats what they look like. They are definately gonna be under $100 though. Way under. There really isnt much to them. Nice little NW Resun pump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef-fisher Posted December 4, 2007 Author Share Posted December 4, 2007 anyone know where to get them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-3 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 My LFS down here has one. Call him at 541-926-3535, or you can buy my Tunze Nano Skimmer for $100. Its proven. Later Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef-fisher Posted December 4, 2007 Author Share Posted December 4, 2007 hey ryan, hows that tunze for noise? are they really as hard to set up as ive heard ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-3 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 The quietest skimmer ive used. Plug and play setup. Where have you heard they are hard to setup? Just wondering. Later Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishyman1957 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 That Pacific Coast Nano Skimmer should be $59.99 or less. WE hav'em for under $50. $44.99 with your PNWMAS card. We've had'em for a while. They do look simple. Then again so did the ealier units out of Eugene 15-20 years ago. They too were simply 'dimpled' PVC. But many people paid out big bucks for Top Fathom. In fact Steve at PCI carried them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mister crabs Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 how are they for size though? it really needs to fit in the back chamber of a nano to be worth it. I still want that tunze ryan. ever find out how much shipping is? how much does it weigh and i can check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mister crabs Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I have heard the break in period is excessive. thats why a used one intrigued me lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef-fisher Posted December 4, 2007 Author Share Posted December 4, 2007 ive read on reef central about the tunze nano, and have found thet most people had problems getting the water level right and issues with micro bubbles. maybe just operator error? thanks roger. ill have to come check that out. have you run one yet? how did it do?

RoseCityAquarium Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 We are currently building some nano tanks with built in filter using these skimmers. They will be 24" x 20" x 20". I have one of these skimmers at home that works great. These little nano tanks are going to be sweet!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one of these skimmers at home that works great. These little nano tanks are going to be sweet!! That skimmer would be SLIGHTLY underkill on a 40g tank. I wouldn't use one on more than 20g. Nano = 20g or less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uhuru Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I have heard the break in period is excessive. thats why a used one intrigued me lol. The break in period can be pretty long. I guess it depends on your bioload though. Once it gets going though it's very consistent. I never had to adjust mine after break in.

mister crabs Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 i was looking for a skimmier to fit in the back of my biocube 29g. the tunze will work but for half the price i like the pacific one. only thing in my tank is a pair of occ. clowns, a diamond goby, and a skunk shrimp. plus the usual CUC of hermits and crabs.

180Bob Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I still love my PM XL2. It is a beast. Jay What kind of lighting setup do you use on that thing. Do you use several arranged around the perimeter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
