IM 16 Nuvo: Tunze 9001 "?"

Greetings,

 

So, I just purchased a Tunze 9001 for my IM 16 Nuvo. Trouble is, it doesn't fit - even though, I have seen it fit on youtube vids and other sites. Has anyone modded their IM 16 Nuvo, say, using 2 separate pumps in the back, to fit a Tunze skimmer? If so, what did you need to purchase to split the back compartment to fit the Tunze? Or, did you fit it another way?

I got the tunze 9001 in my fusion 20, I put two ehem 600 as return pumps and put the skimmer in the middle, ypu have to glue the skinny magnet to the side of the skimmer too, if you check StevieT he has the instructions

 

I got alit of microbubbles but i put some filter floss down by the bubbleguard, No more bubbles. I think Tunze has a accessory like a microbubbe sponge made for thr 9001 too

 

Cheers Niklas

You have any trouble with the collection cup? When I turn my pumps off to feed, the water level rises in the back and the collection cup floats off the skimmer.

I modified my Nuvo 16 it cracked and I tossed it away! ,IM sent me a Fusion 20. I wouldn't modify anything on one of those tanks you are playing with fire.

Yes I have the same problem as you, though I lift my skimmer cup before i shut off the pumps. (If i can remember...)

I don't have that problem anymore with a simple mistake I made. The plastic semi-rectangle piece that the cups holds onto, the less shiney part should be facing up. It's skimming better for me too.

How do you mean? So now the skimmer doesnt rise when the waterlevel rises?

Could you explain it better?

Did you switch the black plastic piece under the skimmer cup where the airintake tube goes through?

It would be nice to not have to move the skimmer cup all the time! :)
