I HATE hang on equipment so my vote is for the tunze. So far it's been good. The last nano skimmers I had were a long time ago so can't really give you a comparison. It's also only a few weeks old and I just got it dialed in to what I want so time will tell but as of this time I would recommend it.
One last question, how did you sink the magnets into the stand?
I agree, more noise, something else that can potentially fail and dump water everywhere haha. I have a HOB reactor and I don't want to add any more than that. Thanks for the honest feedback!
Also GREAT looking tank! Everything from the stand to the corals is top notch! Super clean.
I used a paddle but slightly larger than the magnets and drilled a hole just deep enough to have the magnet flush.
i have my skimmer in my right overflow chamber with a intank media basket in the other and everything seems to be doing great. i also put a little polyfill behind the overflow on the right side to catch some smaller particles before it goes to the skimmer.I also decided to live the skimmer to the right over flow chamber to see how it did there. I was hesitant because of loosing the 2nd filter pad and media basket but we will see how it does.

Following along. I have a JBJ 45 too; I am so glad that you didn't go with the RO HOB skimmer like I did. It is extremely loud, leaks onto the floor through the side of the collection cup, and Is unsightly. I have sold it and I am awaiting my tunze skimmer.
You won't be disappointed. Did you go with the 9004 or 9001?
It's a lighter color tea like with a thick coating on the neck. That said it seem to be just getting broke in so the best advise I can give is be patient with it and the adjustments are touchy but once you get it dialed in [emoji106]
