Would Tunze 9001 fit in Nuvo 20 with this Jebao return pump and baffle removed?

[Mike83]

Hello reefers, 

I'm supposed to receive my Nuvo 20 tomorrow and I've decided on using the Tunze 9001 Skimmer. I would like to use the Jebao DCS-2000 Return Pump and get away with only having to use one. If I remove one of the baffles in the rear would this allow me to fit the skimmer in easier? I didn't want to start cutting pieces out unless I know it's beneficial.

I tried the Tunze 9001 for a few months. It's not a great skimmer to be honest. I sent it back and bought a Hang on Bubble Magus BM-QQ and it's very good.

If you want to still run hose to both output nozzles from one pump, yes.

 

Otherwise mount the Tuzne 9001 in the middle of the chamber and run two pumps, one to each return nozzle.

 

Or run the 9001 on one side of the chamber and the pump to one nozzle.

 

Also depends on your lighting and if a bracket will be in the way or not.

Great, thanks for the replies. I think I might have to go the Eshopps nano route because the hydra 26 stand will be clamped in the middle which will be in the way of the tunze.
