How good of shape is the HOB skimmer, I'm sort of interested to see if I could squeeze one onto the back of my Nuvo 20.

That was exactly the setup I was running! I had it on the back of a Nuevo 20, and it worked great. It’s a little bit of a hassle getting the slimmer on and off of the tank because you have to disconnect the return pump plumbing to do it, but it was a fantastic combination for me.

The skimmer is in great shape—no scratches or cracks, etc. I’ve cleaned it up pretty well too. I have the original box and everything that came with it. Let me know if you have any questions, etc.

I'm a little worried about how it would fit with my maxspect ethereal mount on the back panel of the aquarium, do you have any pictures of it on the back of the tank?

This is unfortunately the only picture I have of the skimmer on the tank (I’ve already sold the tank). It’s a little difficult to see because of the lighting fixture. Are you near the Madison area? If you’re not too far away I’d be happy to bring it over and we could see how well everything fits.

Oh no haha, I'm in Pensacola, FL

I don't think it would fit on my tank in tat configuration since the mount for my light sits right where you have the skimmer.

I didn’t realize that the light mounts right to the center of the back wall. You’re right—the skimmer would get in the way.

Yea I was thinking I might be able to squeeze it in over to the side. Have the intake portion in the accessory chamber and the output in the center chamber and maybe still not take up the room for the light.

I don’t think the skimmer pump fits in the accessory chamber, unfortunately. I think the only option with this skimmer is to mount it in the middle chamber.

That's unfortunate, I'm running the ghost skimmer now and it is so bad. Thanks for helping me figure out if it fits or not though

No problem. You might consider the other Reef Octopus HOB skimmers—they have the pump inside the skimmer body instead, and you might be able to mount those with the intake in the accessory chamber.
