Best Nano Skimmer?!?

[Chris5]

Hey Guys,
Finally getting my 20G-H Nano up and running, and am in the process of choosing a good skimmer, any recommendations would be great ... Running sumpless so it would have to be hang - on ... Some research i have started with the skimmers included ..

Nano Fission
Coralife SS - 65gph
Prizm
Taam rio nano skimmer
Aqua C

Thanks!

Chris5,

Throw the AquaC Remora among your list of hang-on skimmers. Nice hang-on skimmer for smaller tanks and you should be able to find a used one at a good price.

Good Luck :approve:

Thanks Custom,
Added it as we speak, still won't really know until i get one of these bad boys up and running, but still shopping around and looking for feedback ...

Tank Specs:
20G-H
20lbs LR
15lbs LS
Aqua Clear 50 (fuge mod coming soon)

Wait if your doing a fuge mod for the AC 50 why don't you get one of the CPR hang on back refugiums with skimmer?

it might be wider than a 20H... or barely meets it and would kind of look funny, imo. just make sure the measurements meet up.

Just put a EuroReef RS100 and call it a school year! LOL:sgrin::biglaugh:

Ok IMO hands down the best you can put on there would be a Tunze 9002 followed closely by the aquac remora.

 

[Chris5]

Don't really like the CPR's - to many micro's - but i'll look into the Aqua C ...

Thanks everyone!

I have a Tunze nano 9002 on my 20G :flower: ...and so does Chief and DevIous

1st day with the Tunze...
Seems Ok, but as I have been warned by all.......the screw to adjust the water lever & the mounting bracket suck!

 

[Chris5]

Didn't realize just how $$ Nano Skimmers were ... :banghead:
The Aqua C is $139 :irked:

 

[chazertis]

my vote is remora

 

[Custom King]

Aqua C Remora!

Hello,

The $139 my seem like alot but you should be able to find a nice used one for under $100. If you're going to buy a skimmer for your tank you should buy one that's going to do a decent job.

Good Luck :biggrin:

I had the Remora (regular not nano) and it worked great, I got tired of the HOB skimmers and switched to the tunze doc 9002 and it works great as well.

 

[coralite]

I use a remora HOB skimmer as the only filtration on my 29 gallon tank. I've used the Tunze nano on similar tanks with good results as well.

 

[OctaviousMonk]

Look into used if the prices of new ones scare you

 

[chazertis]

i've seen plenty of people sell the remora on here for $100. thats how i got mine. its a great piece of equipment and decently priced. its versatile in case you ever wanted to throw it on any other tank. ok i'm going to stop now since i feel like an infomercial

 

[Chris5]

haha chaz,

Yeah well majority is saying Aqua C, so i'll check it our in further detail...If anyone is getting rid of one, pm me ... :biglaugh:
