Right now your only option is the tunze 9002

[NavyNano212]

Yup...so i am finding out...will it fit in the back where the stock one was?

[Chiefmcfuz]

Yes but you will need to buy the modified skimmer collection cup from InTank at www.mediabaskets.com

Stevie T is the man.That cup actually skims better than the stock one for some reason.

Chief, why?

Many skimmers will fit on a solana, hang on the back though, not inside the chamber. I really like the looks of the new CPR Aeroforce and the Warner H1. Deltec mce 300+600 are great too but only worth the money if you can find used IMO.

Sorry but I like the ones that fit inside the chamber.

I was going to replace my Solana Skimmer. But first I thought I would try modifying the impeller. If you dont know what I'm talking about there is a thread on this site and nanoreef that explains it. Basically you attach a piece of plastic or rubber mesh on the impeller. It creates a ton more bubbles. Now it works great. I will probably upgrade eventually though.

I use tunze 9002 with steviet collection cup and it's great. I still don't have enough experience to compare it to other skimmers, but mine is producing a lot of skimmate and it's dead silent. It's a little tricky to set-up and you probably have to move the magnet to the wider side of the skimmer to fit it in chamber one easily, but it's worth it.

I love this skimmer in my Sloana tanks. I heard they out of business .http://reefbuilders.com/2009/02/06/s...-nano-skimmer/
