IM Abyss 20G Drop Off Skimmer

[ReefKeeper09]

Could anyone recommend a skimmer that works in the IM Abyss 20G Drop off other than the IM Marine Ghost Skimmer? I've heard nothing but bad on that skimmer & am lost as to what to do now. . .

No one has any recommendations? Can anyone give me their opinion on the IM Ghost Skimmer?

I have eshopps Nano skimmer in my IM 10 and it works pretty good.

Do you have it in the Skimmer Compartment? Random question, any pictures of it installed?

I appreciate the information.

I'm having similar issues for a nuvo 20.

This link provides steps to make one for less than 50. I have all the parts coming and The Reef glass skimmer it imitates has good reviews and a super small footprint.

That's good to know. Thank You!

Well the nuvo 10 have 3 compartments. One has media basket the middle has my skimmer and 3rd has return pump and heater.

I actually stopped using a skimmer on that tank--and I have the same one you do...I went with an algae scrubber instead. It's small, fits in the skimmer compartment. As long as you keep up with water changes those tiny skimmers IMHO aren't really worth it.

I am not at home now so I can’t take pic of just skimmer this is all I have on me but you can see it in background.

I too wanna see the scrubber you used. I'm intrigued now. [emoji848]

For those that are curious, this is what the back looks like.
