Nano Skimmer and Reactor Recommendations

[Coreysreef123]

Looking for a nano skimmer and reactor for my Innovative Marine Nuvo 40 cube. It's an AIO tank.

A few options I am considering include:

-Innovative Marine Ghost Midsize Protein Skimmer
-Tunze 9004 Skimmer
-Cad lights PLS50 Elite Skimmer

-Cadlights NR-1 Mini Reactor
-Innovative Marine Minimax Reactor

If you have any experience with these products or recommendations for an alternative please let me know. Any input is much appreciated. Thank you!

I have the Cad lights PLS50 and like it. Probably one of the better nano skimmers I've used. I've always wanted to try the Tunze 9004 though. From personal experience, I would stay away from the IM ghost skimmer. It's loud.

Good to know, I was probably leaning more away from the IM skimmer anyways lol just wanted to see what people would say about it.

following along....looking for a nano reactor the smaller the better.. setting up a 12 gallon mr aqua long.. was gonna run the tunze 9001 and either run bio pellets or carbon(vodka) dosing and gfo...

I have both of the cadlights and the IM and had the fusion 40. (all are for sale). The skimmers operation are pretty similar, to me the Ghost was easier to tune. With the reactors, I felt that the pump on the IM was a little weak and the cadlights gave me a much better tumble on the biopellets. PM me and we can talk further if youd like.

it has been around for a many years I use to sell them when I worked @ Age in 2009 never had any issues when sold only had 2 customers have to replace the impeller and eshopps took care of it with in 48 hrs customer service is outstanding and they produce good higher end products

I have to admit all skimmers mentioned are great ... I do feel you will get a more efficient skimmer from Eshopps though. pm me your cell I can send pics
