ocboat Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I'm thinking about starting up an AIO tank and was wondering if anyone has an IM ghost skimmer or similar like the Tunze 9004? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash21 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I had both skimmers...The Tunze Comline 9004 is the better skimmer of the two. The ghost ones are garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveZ Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I have the Tunze 9001. Not as good as the 9004 but open for trades. DM if interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bicyclebill Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Honestly, based on running an IM20 for several years, I found any skimmer for that small a tank was a waste of time. A 5 gallon water change every week or two was I much better method in my experience. I tried a few different ones, and they all suckedSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titus'reef Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I have a Tunze Comline 9004. Just cleaned up and it works like a charm. I used it on IM nuvo40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water change will give you more than a skimmer on those tanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaywood Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Best little nano skimmer using on my IM 25.

ocboat Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 Thanks everyone for the offers and the advice. There seems to be so much conflicting information on these nano skimmers. Some say the work great for them and others have had zero luck producing anything. I picked up a Nuvo 50 gallon lagoon from CNC so I have a few decisions to make about filtration.

Lazyreefer Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I do have an unused midsize ghost skimmer I think that would be the size for that tank it’s still in its original box if you are interested I use the smaller version on my 25 lagoon and it pulls perfectly fine for me that’s my experience though. Let me know if you’re interested 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
