Space Issues

I am running into space issues with Megan's tank. Has anyone ever used the Tunze Nano DOC Protein skimmer.
Here is the Nano reef pack
http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_ViewIt...ct~TZ9511.html

Would this work on a 39 gallon tank. I think it would solve my space issues.

Re: Space Issues

I can't find any detailed reviews of it. I'm a review NUT so I don't buy anything unless I can get word from others before hand.

Re: Space Issues

Ok, I dont think that the nano wil do what we want.
So, I want an in-tank skimmer. Here is another that I am looking at:
Tunze DOC 9005 Protein Skimmer - AquaCave

Re: Space Issues

I have the Tunze 9005 in my 15g tall sump. It has a pretty small foot print.
It has worked great for my system 55g tank w/ 10g water in sump.
I would definitely recommend it!!

Re: Space Issues

Im looking at puting it on a 39 gallon tank, with a Maximum of 3 smaller fish in it. You think it will be good in the tank. Im thinking about putting it in the left hand back corner.

Re: Space Issues

Yes I have see pics of them in tanks too.
It comes with brackets to hang it in the tank.
I dont know if you have checked it out but here is a link to the Tunze site on the 9005. You can download the owners manual too, http://www.tunze.com/149.html?&L=1&C=US&user_tunzeprod_pi1[predid]=-infoxunter028

Re: Space Issues

I have been checking out their website. I am really glad that I found this skimmer. I was going to have to spend alot of money to have a sump built that will fit into Megan's stand. I think I will be ordering it tommorow.
