rfalk Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Seems like people do not like the ghost skimmer anyone have any recommendations on what to use as a protein skimmer for the Nuvo 30L? Quote Link to comment
Jcon_343 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I just ordered myself the Eshopps PSK-75 for my 20L should be in on Friday. 1 Quote Link to comment
rfalk Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 I just ordered myself the Eshopps PSK-75 for my 20L should be in on Friday. I do not think that would fit but would be a nice option. Quote Link to comment
Rory282 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 How about the new icecap k2-50? It might just fit in the first chamber? other options are the tunze 9001 and the tunze 9004 (if it fits) 1 Quote Link to comment

Yeah the Tunze I hear only fit in the first chamber but its looking more likely I will end up doing that or the cadlights PLS-50 elite is a possibility. Quote Link to comment
rfalk Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 Anyone have any personal reviews of they hydro slim skim nano? Quote Link to comment
ReefSafeSolutions Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 My Dad uses one of the Lee's protein skimmers on his tank and it does a great job...I can't believe how much nasty stuff it pulls out! 1 Quote Link to comment

I am too lazy to switch out the airstone lol....I do think I need a reef safesolutions controller tho. 1 Quote Link to comment
ReefSafeSolutions Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Yeah the airstone does get pretty nasty after a while! I wish the sump area of the IM tanks were just a little bigger so you could have more equipment options. The back of my Nuvo 16 makes it super hard to find anything that fits. Luckily the 30L has a bit more space! (And we do still have some temp controllers left, feel free to message me) 1 Quote Link to comment
emily97 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Aquamaxx ws1 is a great option 1 Quote Link to comment
rfalk Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 Aquamaxx ws1 is a great option Not sure it will fit - says 5.9" long. I am almost leaning towards no skimmer or at least trying the Coral Box S150 Protein Skimmer. Its so cheap if it doesn't work out not a big loss. Quote Link to comment
emily97 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Aquamaxx hob skimmer is the best but pricey,or eshobbs hob or hob skimmer 1 Quote Link to comment
coweyes298 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Hope this is still not too late. Reef Octopus BH50. I have this one on my 15 gallon nano and this thing skims like a monster. Quote Link to comment
Reef Hollister Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 You sure the Tunze will fit? from the way I am looking at it, it is a fraction of an inch to big. I'm in the same boat for my 30L and the options seem to be a Ghost or a Cadlight ELS 50. Quote Link to comment
Elizabeth94 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 The hang on back should fit. I got this guy on a nuvo 10! The return of the skimmer goes into my second chamber and the input fits nicely in my return chamber. This skimmer is a beast for sure. It was a little loud in the beginning but now it its real quiet and I can sleep with it in my room. You sure the Tunze will fit? from the way I am looking at it, it is a fraction of an inch to big. I'm in the same boat for my 30L and the options seem to be a Ghost or a Cadlight ELS 50. Quote Link to comment
jdog Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Seems like people do not like the ghost skimmer anyone have any recommendations on what to use as a protein skimmer for the Nuvo 30L? I have the ghost skimmer for my 20 Fusion and you are correct they are not the best. I could never get a good skim from it no matter what I do. I wish I had a recommendation for you, but I ended up going to a bigger tank with a Nyos Quote Link to comment
billybatz9 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 WHat about the aquatic life 115. will it fit? Quote Link to comment
Reef Hollister Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Anyone have any personal reviews of they hydro slim skim nano? I've looked at this and it says the minimum water lever is 11.5' which is about an inch too high for the 30L, the way I see it. Quote Link to comment
rfalk Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 Tunze 9004 Does it only fit in the first chamber? Wanted to run 1 side filter sock the other media basket. Quote Link to comment
inTank Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Does it only fit in the first chamber? Wanted to run 1 side filter sock the other media basket. Will fit in the center pump chamber. Would have to use one return nozzle or run two pumps 1 Quote Link to comment
Reef Hollister Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Will fit in the center pump chamber. Would have to use one return nozzle or run two pumps Thanks, that the kind of info I need. Hadn't thought about running two pumps. I want a good skimmer and would prefer to not have an HOB. Quote Link to comment
