RJWalters Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Hey guys I am going to be starting a tank up this month and wanted to get your opinion on the Fusion 20. If you have one please LMK what you think of it. Also if you have a build thread on here with this tank please post up a link. I would also be interested in anyones opinion on alternative tank choices. Thanks Ron Link to comment
DocReef Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I have a Fusion 20 and love it so far. I just wish I had gone bigger, but no complaints on the tank so far. See link below for build. Link to comment
GokesReef Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I just set one up as well! I'd say try for the 30 if you can, but the 20 is awesome so far! Build thread in my sig Link to comment
RJWalters Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Thanks for the opinion guys. I was also wondering if someone could give me the DIMS for the display section and the sump section? I have looked but all I can find is the overall total DIMS they don't list the DIMS for just the display or just the sump. I am trying to figure out if the Tunze 9001 skimmer will fit in the sump on this or not. I know I don't want the IM Ghost skimmer because I have heard nothing but bad about them. LMK Thanks Link to comment

LMK Thanks The Tunze will not fit. I was in the same boat as you and ended up going with the Ghost Skimmer. Except for some micro bubbles during the break in period it's been working great. No complaints so far. Link to comment

I have read a lot of bad reviews on the IM Ghost so I don't want to spend the money just to hate the product. Link to comment

I'm happy with the ghost, but I understand your concerns since I had the same ones. Not sure if any other skimmers fit. Link to comment

I don't get why they didn't put them as separate dimensions on their site. Link to comment

I don't get why they didn't put them as separate dimensions on their site. These are my measurements using a tape measure so not 100% accurate, but pretty close. Display 11.5 X 23.5 in. Sump 4 X 23.5 in. Skimmer 2nd Chamber 4 X 4.5 in. Ghost 3.58 x 2.28 x 9.84 in. Tunze 9001 4.3 x 2.5 x 8.5 in. Link to comment
RJWalters Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Thanks Gerber Link to comment
Steensj2004 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Thanks Gerber The Eshopps nano skimmer fit inside my Nuvo 16, I cannot imagine you would have a problem fitting inside the 20. Although, I was unhappy with it, but many people love it. the Ghost is a good skimmer, but I would opt for the tunze 9001 if at all possible. Link to comment
phillyclownfish Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Any issues with this tank leaking like the 16 and 24? Link to comment
Uphoric Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I have the Fusion 10 and I LOVE IT!! have the ghost skim as well, which i like too as long as you have an ATO the skimmer works well Although its seems to be either great or terrible, takes a while to break in as well.If you would like any videos or pictures of the skimmer just ask Link to comment

phillyclownfish Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 From everything I have read the leak problem went away along with the curved glass I hope so. I just ordered a pico though. Don't want to risk coming home to that mess. Link to comment
