Replacement Skimmer For C130

Hello everyone. My first post here.
I joined as this place seems to have the best support for Red Sea aquariums. I have a C130 that I've been running since March but it runs ridiculously hot. Alot of this heat is due to the skimmer. I want to replace the skimmer with a completely different one but all I can find are skimmers that fit in a 130 or 130D and not much about the C130. I've been looking at the Tunze 9001 and the Aqua Medic Turboflotor 500.
Will these fit the C130? I'm based in the UK so would prefer equipment available here.

Thanks

Ste

Start a new tank thread & share your tank with us so we can follow along - we love pics :)

Sure some C-130 owners can advise on alternate skimmers.

I'm running the Aquamaxx HOB-1 Hang on Back skimmer. I've been very happy with it's performance over the last 12 months.

I know both the tunze 9001 and the turboflotor 500 will fit. I have been doing the same research. My turboflotor arrives later this week. I chose it because it is supposedly quieter and skims more.

Thanks, I have looked at the turboflotor. I know that it fits in the 130D just wasn't sure if it will fit in the C130 as the chamber configuration is different.

Hi there I've changed my c130 skimmer for the tunze 9004 it's great and near silent, in posted a thread for the mod also including fitting a radion in the hood
