bashment Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Hello everyone!I'm currently in the process of setting up my Fusion 20 gallon and have been torn on the skimmer. I want the easiest/cheapest solution so I have been considering the IM Ghost Skimmer, however since I want this tank to be in my room, I am concerned over reviews I've seen on how loud the skimmer can be. Seems hit or miss from what I've read. All this has made me consider the Tunze 9001 skimmer which would essentially force me to upgrade to two pumps in the return chamber to get it to fit properly. The two pumps I had in mind were:Eheim 600 : http://www.marinedepot.com/Eheim_Compact_Pump_Aquarium_Powerheads_Compact_Pumps-Eheim-EH1000-FIPHCP-vi.htmlor the Tunze Silence 1073.008 : http://www.marinedepot.com/Tunze_Recirculation_Pump_Powerhead_Silence_Fixed_Flow_Aquarium_Powerheads-Tunze-TZ1737-FIPHFF-vi.htmlAnyone here have experience with both these pumps? Or any suggestions on the skimmer? Thanks in advance! Link to comment
StevieT Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 9001Eheim, Tunze 1073 or just use the one have now. 2 Eheim/Tunze are better tho Link to comment
bashment Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 Definitely going with the Tunze 9001 skimmer after much thought. I went ahead and ordered 2 Tunze silence pumps though over the Eheims. Link to comment
rbargante Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Hi. Any updates on your pumps and skimmer? Link to comment
do not smoke the reef(er) Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Any updates on this ? thinking about adding the tunzee 9001 skimmer to my nuvo 20 Link to comment
Mariaface Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I was blessed with an already-modded Cadlights PLS-50 Elite showing up in the classifieds on the forum. Fits perfectly in the second chamber, skims amazingly. Link to comment

Thinking about just getting the tunzee 9001 and 2 return pumps Link to comment

Thinking about just getting the tunzee 9001 and 2 return pumps Do it!! Or like.. block one of the returns? Does the overflow still work correctly with one of the returns blocked? Link to comment
do not smoke the reef(er) Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I am pretty sure you can run it still with just one pump and the overflow should work correctly. I want all that flow though and i like the idea of having 2 return pumps in there just in case anything goes wrong. I already have 2 heaters in my tank might as well get 2 pumps Link to comment
