9004 in sump help

[slipknotgrrl83]

Hi Roger can you help me with my 9004. Main thing though is I bought it not really realizing it wasn't made for a sump, I have it in 9.5 inches water but it's sitting on the sump floor. Will it still work properly since water comes out the bottom. I don't want it in dt and I doubt I can return it since I already placed in the tank..waiting to here from brs for that. Any other tips for using it in sump? I love how quiet it is compared to my old one and with my sump being on the small side most won't fit. I would love to keep it IF it will work properly. I'm starting to get some dark tea skim (installed yesterday afternoon). Sorry for the rambling!

Try this, it should work as long as at least 9" is submerged, if you leave a 1/4-1/2" gap under it, it should work. We do have a sump kit coming out for it later this year-

Ty, I'll keep a look out. Maybe brs will carry it or just get through tunze site. Thanks for your help

Will tunze 9004 work well on a nuvo40? Since it is going to be mounted sideeays i doubt it will be efficient sincenwater will bypass the surface skimmer on the first baffle

Anyone with experience?

 

[slipknotgrrl83]

It probably won't as the collection cup just sits, it isn't attached to skimmer. It would probably fall off

This I don't know, but one of the best resources is Steve at In Tank (mediabaskets.com) he would know what will fit.
