Which skimmer would work best for a 37 gallon tank? The 9002 or 9005? Also, Which nanostreams would be best? I already have a 6025 that I can use in it. The tank will be BB and have mainly SPS corals and maybe a few LPS. Would a 6025 and a 6045 be enough?
 
I have a 9002 in my SPS biotope and it works well, however I am thinking about upgrading to the 9005 so I can feed the corals a lot. They are growing a lot and I'm not sure the 9002 will keep up.
 
I don't, it's pretty good though. I have it set at a dark tea, I like it a little wet. Maybe I should keep it. I only actually have about 33 gallons of water so I'm not that far off.
 
I have a 6025 and a Seio 820. I am on the list for a 6055 when they come out and the Seio is outta there.
 
I just broke the clips off my 6025 a few minutes ago when I cleaning it. :( But I just glued it back on. I might get a 6055 and a single controller and use the 6025 for behind the rocks.
 
That's my plan. Roger told me to keep the 9002, it will be fine for an SPS tank. He recommended that I run a chemical media 24/7 to scavenge anything the skimmer misses. I am impressed with the 9002, for such a small skimmer it consistently pulls out quality skimmate.
 
I can't wait. My 9002 arrives in the morning :) Thanks for your recommendation Smatter.

Are you running the nano reefpack or just the 9002?
 
Cool. I am running some ESV carbon in the chamber with the pump on my tank. That's my chemical media. However, tank is still very new and doesn't stay in there very long.

I'll let you know how I make out with the 9002 after it breaks in and is pulling "the good stuff".

I received my second 6025 yesterday and two in my 30 is like wow! My Clownfish was having a ball with the two on. Riding the current was hysterical to watch. Was like his own waterpark in there. Thumbs up to Tunze on those nanostreams.
 
I just installed the 9002 in my tank and I can't believe how quiet it is compared to my other skimmer. This is fantastic. If it preforms as well as my old skimmer I will be 100% satisfied due to the drastic noise reduction. If this skimmer outperforms the old it will have far exceeded my expectations.

I am very pleased. Bubbling nicely and no microbubbles. :)

Thanks for the recommendation.

Was a perfect fin in the chamber. I can't get over how quiet this is. I almost want to order a reefpack and set up another nano in my office, it is that quiet.
 
Andrew, I am not sure. If it can i sure would like to get a magnet holder for it. I know the Nano Reefpack has a magnet holder so this may be able to use a like magnet.

I am just very tickled with how much quieter this 9002 is over the skimmer I received with my tank..

Maybe others would know? Becuase I would like to..

Thanks,
Matt
