Best skimmer for Nuvo 40 AIO?

[Camellia]

Any feedback appreciated on skimmers & their performance being used for the Nuvo 40 AIO.

Current reading appears the Tunze 9004 has the best reviews?

Has anyone has heard of any new skimmers for this tank possible being released?

Thanks

I've heard good things about the Tunze 9004 (haven't ever found Tunze to make bad equipment). Seems like there was another skimmer by AquaticLife that was also good...but I forget the name.

I have the Aqua gadget skimmer on Nuvo 40 and works well.

you could go with the tunze 9001 even it has a very small footprint. The aquagadget skimmer is a beast though.

I have the Tunze 9004 and it fits perfectly in my IM Nuvo 30 (chambers should be about the same size). The skimmer started producing dirty skimmate the first day.

I have jbj 45 and I'm using the 9004 I like it so far its staying pretty consistent. I hate skimmers that are at the right level one minute then over flowing the next. PLus its black and you can hide it all together in the AIO tanks

i wouldnt use any skimmer just do chaeto. all the skimmers for such a small system really suck. its a waste of money

Sorry to hijack here.. but could someone explain how to run chaeto on an all in one tank? I have a Nuvo 20zz

Run a algae scrubber like a Sana Monica drop 1.2 and is works great.

Been struggling for over a year with the Tunze 9004 in my IM 40 cube.
Read, searched, tried & tired to get this skimmer dialed in right to skim! Skimmer has ruined the wall behind the tank. It’s a good thing it’s my house

Tried to PM Reefwiser to ask ....

Is your opinion still the same regarding the algae scrubber?

My corals require heavy feeding requiring mandatory removal of excess. This cube urg, it’s a pita to keep the sump clean and/or do WC in the 1/2 blocked bottom sump compartment*_*
Thanks
