Nano skimmer for 30 Gallon HELP

[Christopher Davis]

I have been using the jbj sk-45 skimmer on my 25g cube build for about 5 months. The pump has already burned up on me and I am floored with anger! :mad: I forgot to warranty the product... lesson learned. But to my findings I cannot even buy the replacement pump on a skimmer I paid 120+ for are you serious:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:.
I don't think I'm going to be using them anymore after writing a letter.

So what is a good replacement skimmer that I could buy? That's relatively compact and won't burn up in 5 months...BTW I put the skimmer in my sump :) let me know!

oh awesome!!! Did you order online? Pros and cons to the skimmer? That looks like something I'm looking for. Really disappointed with the quality and overall design of the JBJ.

Tunze 9004 on my Innovative Marine 30 and it fits perfectly in one of the chambers. Started producing dirty skimmate on the first day.

Hey so I went with the ice cap... I am having a lot of difficulty getting it to to consisntaly skim... it's like the pump is pulsing constantly? Did you have this problem? I have to unplug it on and off for it to snap out of it?
