Tunze 9001 or Eshopps nano skimmer

[khittik]

I am thinking of getting a nano skimmer. Can anyone let me know either Tunze 9001 skimmer or ESHOPPS nano skimmer is better?

I want to place at the rear chamber of Waterbox 20g. I would prefer the skimmer without no micro bubbles in my main tank and silent. Thanks

Tunze gets my vote. Just double check the measurements to ensure it will fit in the sump.

I would vote neither, to be honest. I don’t feel like you need a Skimmer in a small tank like that. Water changes and activated carbon should be enough.

I have been doing 25 percent water changes every week and nitrates is still high as 10ppm I am struggling to get these down. I have activated carbon, denitrate, biohome ultimate, I still cannot get nitrate level down. What would you say?

I would say 10 ppm of nitrates is perfect! lol. What are you using to test nitrates? Have you ever tested your RO water for nitrates? Does your coral look to be affected by nitrates? I have experienced the best coloration and growth from my nitrates being at ~5 - 10 ppm.

A no brainer:

New nano skimmer from Bubble Magus

Interesting little thing, the Mini Q. Very compact and has a DC pump, for half the price of a non-DC Tunze 9001.

Redsea and API. Same results.

my corals are not opening and look dead. Cyanobacteria blooms. Phosphate is perfect, 0.05ppm. I am using natural sea water from uk supplier. 0 nitrate.
