To Purchase: shop.mediabaske... Short walk through of the new Tunze 9001 Protein Skimmer prior to it being broken in. If you have any questions please see us at www.shop.mediabaskets.com
is there a skimmer for a 28G Nano that will fit into one of the side chambers rather than the center chamber? The center chamber of my tank has the filter media piece...sponge, carbon,ceramic pieces...
I have an AC 70 on my reef hex tank and I've always loved your guys media basket you make for it but I've never gotten around to buying one. I currently have the Tunze 9001 inside the AC 70 with some filter floss, Chemi-Pure and Purigen. My question is will the Tunze 9001 fit in the large chamber with removing the shelf? I'd love to be able to use the media basket, it would make my cleaning soooo much easier.
Hi Alex- The 9001 will not fit inside our media basket, it's too wide. It will fit in our AC110 media basket which you then could still have media along side the skimmer. Thanks.
Is this quiet I have the innovative marine ghost skimmer and I'm ready to throw it in the trash. It's just way to loud ,the tank would be silent without it. Will this work on the innovative marine 14 peninsula ?
Stevie-My silencer is not working. When I turn the knob all the was shut, it does not decrease flow level of the foam. If I manually pinch the air tube off with my finger, it stops the foam. any ideas?
Make sure the skimmer is a the proper water level. If pinching the air tube works then make sure the blue knob is actually hitting the air tube and closing it off when closing it.
Hi Steve. any clue on why my Tunze 9001 has too many bubbles retuning from the bottom? I have already tried with the air pump completely open also closed. I used also the surface skimmer and also remove to check if that was the problem. I don't know what else I can try. I would appreciate if you could help. Thanks
Hi Stevie, I have the Media Basket and Fuge Basket due to arrive on Friday. Is there any way to get the 9001 to play nice with both of them in or is there just no way to fit all 3?
What was the magnet you used in the IM Nuvo 16 tank for this skimmer? Does the one you sell on your website come with the correct magnet for this tank?
hey Steve, any ideas how to stop persistant micro bubbles? i've had this thing for a little more than a month and a half, and still have bubbles all over the tank. it should be past the break-in period by now, right? i've tried putting a piece of foam in the bottom portion of the skimmer, have shut off all other pumps (circulation & hang-on filter), positioned the skimmer's pump in every direction, i've tried patience, maintained water level on level indicator on skimmer,.. i've tried everything that i can think of, and read about, and still have 100's of micro bubbles in the tank. i have unfortunately resorted to plugging the skimmer into the "night light" outlet on my timer/strip-plug, so that it only comes on when the aquarium light go out. it now only runs about 13 hrs/day, but i don't have to look at the bubbles, and the fish don't have to deal with the stress of having the bubbles sticking to their scales. it's either that, or take the skimmer out of the tank all together. any advice would be much appreciated. thx. --bill c.
Sounds like you have tried a lot. Make sure the air hose is connected to the foam plate correctly. Shoot Tunze an email, they have great support. tunze at sbcglobal dot net
+Alexandros Repanas Sorry we are not familiar with those as they are not popular or distributed in the USA. The dims of the skimmer are: 4 x 2.5 x 8 inches and it needs a minimum of 6" of water to operate.
+inTank, LLC Thanks for your quick answer!! I will measure the dimensions in the back of the aquarium and see if it fits or not. I hope it does because I really want to get my hands on the 9001.
Hello - thanks for the review. I have the Oceanic 29 biocube HQI version. I need a skimmer and have been looking at this one since it came out. I already the media basket, but do you think this skimmer will fit in my HQI 29? I'm a little worried it will not due to the light bracket. Thanks!
It will not fit in chamber two because of the light bracket. The Aquaticlife 115 will fit in your first chamber or some did mod the third and fit the Tunze 9002. So you should be able to do that in chamber three much easier with the 9001
Hey Stevie I just wanted to point out and clarify as another member at nano reef forum who has the 30 L commented that he was unable to get the 9001 to fit in the second chamber but had to drop it in the middle over the pumps Any clarification on this?
Tshering Sherpa Yes it will. It held on but also removable. I have heard of some securing it further with some silicone. We have a walk through of it's install on the Coralife 29 Media Basket's product page. www.shop.mediabaskets.com/searchquick-submit.sc?keywords=cl29mr
inTank, LLCj just purchased your media tower and the skimmer. will this be a good combo with the inTank media tower? and do I have to make any cuts to the biocube to make it fit? and how high will the water level have to be in order for the skimmer to function properly
Tshering Sherpa Yes. You can see a walkthrough here: www.shop.mediabaskets.com/searchquick-submit.sc?keywords=cl29mr There is a water level line on the body of the skimmer. You can adjust the water level in chamber two by adding new water while the filtration pump is on.
Tshering Sherpa Make sure it is at the proper water level and the air valve is clear and open, read over the directions. All skimmers need to break in which can take up to 2 weeks.
Necra Monium The magnet on the 9001 is removable, and flush with the body, unlike the 9002. I would still pop it off, no cutting needed, and glue it to the back side. This way it is mounted to the rear of the aquarium instead of the media basket. Just makes changing of the media basket easier.
There is a molded water level line on the side of the body, this is the max level that the skimmer can run at. It is about 1/2" below the top of the body. The skimmer works best when the water level is about 1/2" below that water level line, so the skimmer body is about 1" above the water's surface.
I really liked your review of the 9001. I have a jbl 29 nano, would you recommend this skimmer for my tank? or is there another you'd recommend even higher yet?
Cord Roberts I would go with the Tunze 9001. Make sure you have the surface skimmer attachment on the intake grates as you will have to adjust the water level in chamber two lower.
How are you holding the skimmer in place? I had to put the magnet in the pump area separator on one side and the skimmer in the area where the IM skimmer/media reactor should be located - I have a Nuvo 24 so the compartment to the right is bigger. My skimmer is facing the other way around
inTank, LLC Thanks! I purchased one of these bad boys and it is great. Cannot say anything about the skimming performance yet however it is indeed noiseless which is a big win for me so far.
I don't think so by a little research but we do not have the Fusion 10 or 20 tanks in the shop yet. The dims of the 9001 are 4 x 2.5 x 8 inches. IM says their Ghost desktop skimmer will fit the Fusion 10, we sell that skimmer as well. Thanks.
This is an amazing review! I just installed mine on my 32 Biocube, this was super helpful! Thank you so much.
What chamber did you put it in? Would it fit in the first chamber?
Sal Diaz Mid chamber, next to my InTank Acrylic filtration upgrade
How the skimmer still doing? Any good? Looking at these
Will this be efficient in a 34 gallon reefer??
Will it fit in chamber 1? On the right side when facing towards the tank?
All I needed to know. Thanks for the video!
is there a skimmer for a 28G Nano that will fit into one of the side chambers rather than the center chamber? The center chamber of my tank has the filter media piece...sponge, carbon,ceramic pieces...
Can you please advise how you got the Tunze to mount sideways in your video? Thanks!

Steve- I have a Pico Manta Ray 18- Do you think this skimmer will fit in the first chamber?
Could you explain better how did you change the magnete position? Thank you so much.

Is this quiet I have the innovative marine ghost skimmer and I'm ready to throw it in the trash. It's just way to loud ,the tank would be silent without it. Will this work on the innovative marine 14 peninsula ?
Yes - It is a extremely quiet skimmer. Innovative marine products are junk.
Didn't like it at first after a week it been skimming great
Stevie-My silencer is not working. When I turn the knob all the was shut, it does not decrease flow level of the foam. If I manually pinch the air tube off with my finger, it stops the foam. any ideas?
Make sure the skimmer is a the proper water level. If pinching the air tube works then make sure the blue knob is actually hitting the air tube and closing it off when closing it.
Hi Steve. Great video. Where would you place this skimmer in a fusion 40? Thanks.
gcpbg Center pump chamber

I used also the surface skimmer and also remove to check if that was the problem. I don't know what else I can try. I would appreciate if you could help. Thanks
Make sure it is at the proper water level. All skimmers have a break in period after which micro bubbles will subside.
Thanks
Did this work out for u? Because i tried everything and nothing worked
Hi Stevie, I have the Media Basket and Fuge Basket due to arrive on Friday. Is there any way to get the 9001 to play nice with both of them in or is there just no way to fit all 3?
We will answer this on N-R where it was also asked. Thanks.
inTank, LLC Okay cool, I'll look for it there! Thanks!
What was the magnet you used in the IM Nuvo 16 tank for this skimmer? Does the one you sell on your website come with the correct magnet for this tank?
+Matty P The current version of the 9001 comes with a thinner magnet that can be used. Thanks.
Den werde ich mir holen.

inTank, LLC
thanks man, i'll do that. ps-the hose is good.
Jo did u find out what the problem was. I have the exact same problem
What stand is that IM 16 tank on in this video? It seems to have some sort of digital display on it...
The stand is for the Innovative Marine Nuvo 30 or 38. I mounted the reef keeper display into the door.
How well does it fit in the red sea max 130d?
Tony Goose Fits perfectly. Most attach to our media basket or the rear wall.
+inTank, LLC Hi there! I really enjoyed your video. Do you believe that it will also fit in a Sera Biotop Nano Cube 60?
+Alexandros Repanas Sorry we are not familiar with those as they are not popular or distributed in the USA. The dims of the skimmer are: 4 x 2.5 x 8 inches and it needs a minimum of 6" of water to operate.

How did this skimmer work for you? Any good?

inTank, LLC Thanks. I have my return pump in the 3rd chamber and it will still fit?
Tim Haddon It should fit above the return pump. Dims are: 4 x 2.5 x 8 inches
inTank, LLC Awesome - thanks Steve!
Hey thanks for the vid. Will this fit on the IM fusion 30L?
You're welcome. Yes it will fit in the fusion 30L and 40. Thanks.
Hey Stevie
I just wanted to point out and clarify as another member at nano reef forum who has the 30 L commented that he was unable to get the 9001 to fit in the second chamber but had to drop it in the middle over the pumps
Any clarification on this?
Richard C
Correct, the pump chamber is where it will fit.
Hey Steve will this work in the second chamber of a coralife biocube 29? and how securely is the magnet holder on the skimmer?
Tshering Sherpa Yes it will. It held on but also removable. I have heard of some securing it further with some silicone. We have a walk through of it's install on the Coralife 29 Media Basket's product page. www.shop.mediabaskets.com/searchquick-submit.sc?keywords=cl29mr
inTank, LLCj just purchased your media tower and the skimmer. will this be a good combo with the inTank media tower? and do I have to make any cuts to the biocube to make it fit? and how high will the water level have to be in order for the skimmer to function properly
Tshering Sherpa
Yes. You can see a walkthrough here: www.shop.mediabaskets.com/searchquick-submit.sc?keywords=cl29mr
There is a water level line on the body of the skimmer. You can adjust the water level in chamber two by adding new water while the filtration pump is on.
inTank, LLC I installed the skimmer, but there is a gurgling sound the skimmer is making any idea. I apologies for my noob questions I'm new to this.
Tshering Sherpa Make sure it is at the proper water level and the air valve is clear and open, read over the directions. All skimmers need to break in which can take up to 2 weeks.
Could anyone tell me how tall does the collection cup rise above the waterline? thank you.
2-5/8" to 3-1/8" depending on where you set that water level
thanks for that mate!
Hi Steve, would this fit RSM 130D with the media basket?
Jon Sulit
Yes, it sure does.
Necra Monium The magnet on the 9001 is removable, and flush with the body, unlike the 9002. I would still pop it off, no cutting needed, and glue it to the back side. This way it is mounted to the rear of the aquarium instead of the media basket. Just makes changing of the media basket easier.
0:30 did this guy just say he welded plastic?
Yes. With a solvent welding solution called Weldon
Should the black part of the skimmer be above the water line coming in ? I can't get my 9001 set for anything
There is a molded water level line on the side of the body, this is the max level that the skimmer can run at. It is about 1/2" below the top of the body. The skimmer works best when the water level is about 1/2" below that water level line, so the skimmer body is about 1" above the water's surface.
I really liked your review of the 9001. I have a jbl 29 nano, would you recommend this skimmer for my tank? or is there another you'd recommend even higher yet?
Hi Cord - Do you mean the JBJ Nano Cube 28?
Ohh lol sorry, I was watching videos and had 29 on my head. It's a 24 gal nano
Cord Roberts I would go with the Tunze 9001. Make sure you have the surface skimmer attachment on the intake grates as you will have to adjust the water level in chamber two lower.
How are you holding the skimmer in place? I had to put the magnet in the pump area separator on one side and the skimmer in the area where the IM skimmer/media reactor should be located - I have a Nuvo 24 so the compartment to the right is bigger. My skimmer is facing the other way around
It is talked about in the beginning of the video. We glued a thin magnet to the back side of the body and it is held on the rear wall.
inTank, LLC
Thanks! I purchased one of these bad boys and it is great. Cannot say anything about the skimming performance yet however it is indeed noiseless which is a big win for me so far.
Hi Steve, would this skimmer fit a nuvo fusion 10g? Thanks!
I don't think so by a little research but we do not have the Fusion 10 or 20 tanks in the shop yet. The dims of the 9001 are 4 x 2.5 x 8 inches. IM says their Ghost desktop skimmer will fit the Fusion 10, we sell that skimmer as well. Thanks.
inTank, LLC got it! Thanks. I'll look into getting the ghost one from you.
Will this fit a Nuvo Fusion 20?
oFallenDemono Yes. It's been discussed in the comments.
