Skimmer for Nuvo 16

[Apcoleman]

Is anyone running something other than the IM skimmer on their Nuvo 16?  The skimmer chambers are 2.75" x 3.23" which really limits what you can put back there.

I was using a eshopps nano skimmer, it fit fine.. I have it for sale if youre interested..

A lot of the guys running the IM tanks are using Tunze 9002. Tunze has a great reputation. A common mod for these skimmers are relocating the magnet and getting a third party collection cup.

I agree with the above recommendations, though to be honest, I prefer to run my Nuvo 16 without a skimmer. I haven't found it really necessary at all.

Decided to give the eshopp nano a shot. I'm running bio-pellets so a skimmer is necessary. So far it seems to be pretty stable and I'm still surprised I was able to jam it in there. I'm still going to be looking at other options down the road.
