Hello all
I am currently running a Tunze 9001 skimmer in the back of my RSM130D, but am really after a skimmer that surface skims. I know a lot of people run the media rack and tunze 9001/9002. but have taken out the media rack and am using a canister filter for running my mechanical filtration and media - this is working really well but because I am not running it through a media rack getting a bit of a film in my back chamber. So ideally looking for a skimmer that takes from the surface like the 9001 does with an attachment, but does fit in the tank with the attachment on.
Any ideas - the 9004 would be ideal, but apparently it doesn't fit (just to note, I have removed the lid and am running hydra LED's so the height at the back isn't an issue, as not sure which way the 9004 didn't fit) There seems to be lots of posts from 2012 - 2015, but not a lot in the last couple of years, so wondering if anyone has any fresh ideas?
In the short term I have ordered a Eheim 350 Surface skimmer, which I am hoping will agitate the water enough to get rid of the film, but wondering if there is a skimmer that can do both jobs.
Let me know your thoughts
Thanks
