When I had the IM NuvoSkim hooked up, I just used the standard black tubing that it came with, and slid it into the CO2 Scrubber tubing - it fit in perfectly.Do you have any pics of how you put the scrubber to your skimmer?

I was looking into adding either the Nuvoskim or Eshops nano to my 20.When I had the IM NuvoSkim hooked up, I just used the standard black tubing that it came with, and slid it into the CO2 Scrubber tubing - it fit in perfectly.
I like the Eshopps much better. It’s a pretty tight fit, but it does out perform the nuvoskim. I don’t think it’s any noisier than the nuvoskim - they are both relatively quiet.I was looking into adding either the Nuvoskim or Eshops nano to my 20.
Performance wise, what did you like better about each? Noise level for both?
Any pics of the chamber with the skimmer? Was always curious how the fit is.
Thanks
Thanks for the pics, and nice tank BTW.I like the Eshopps much better. It’s a pretty tight fit, but it does out perform the nuvoskim. I don’t think it’s any noisier than the nuvoskim - they are both relatively quiet.
I’ve attached two quick pics. The skim it collects is darker than what the Nuvo would collect and I had some micro bubbles with the Nuvo but not the eshopps.
thank you!Thanks for the pics, and nice tank BTW.
I guess I'm just confused how it fits.
According to IM...that chamber is 4x2.7" but the skimmer is 4.5x2.5
So how does it fit?
I use the bigger mightyjet, the midsized not the desktop version if I’m not mistaken. I run it at 1.4 (BRS has a conversion chart for how much flow this actually provides).Which Mightyjet version do you use? Hows the flow with the VCA's? I would like to do a similar setup as right now I run an MJ900 with the stock nozles.
Also, what settings do you run your MP10 on? I run reef crest on 75%. I just feel that program sounds more time on low flow than high turbulent flow.
Thank you, I appreciate that. It’s always a learning experience that’s for sure!Beautiful looking tank. Sorry to read about your losses. I have a similarly sized tank from Cobalt and I can only hope to have mine looking like yours one day.
Newer one. It still fits well. Would highly recommend. Works well and really easy to cleanGreat looking tank. I just started a Nuvo 20, hope it looks this good some day. Is your eshopps skimmer the newer model or the older one? I had heard they changed the design recently. I'm trying to decide between that and the Icecap K1 Nano.
Really nice, you have managed to make a 20g tank look like 80g.Forgot to update this thread. Below is a quick annual recap, as my tank is now 3 years old.
tank: Nuvo 20
Wavemakers: mp10 and Nero 3
Lights: Radion G5 Xr15 Pro w/reef bright k15
Controller: hydros
Salt: Tropic Marine Pro
Dose: all for reef

Biggest issues/troubles:
Space! I have no idea how quickly some things would grow. My Acan Echinata grew very well and now resides in my office 10g, along with a Micromussa Lordhowensis that started off as 1 polyp and grew into a nice matt.
I also didn’t know that I’d be able to grow sps, which is fun, it adds a little bit extra onto things; especially when the anemone’s grow and I have up to 7 at a time
Overall, I didn’t think this would be a problem at first since I was I was initially only going yo keep Zoas and maybe 1 LPS; oh how times have changed.
