Tuinze Nano DOC Skimmer Opinions

[goreefer]

In my quest for a fairly quiet skimmer I'm now looking at the Tunze Nano DOC skimmer.
Has anyone in our club used one?
Are they as quiet as advertised?
Do they skim decently?
My system is only about 30 gallons total so I don't really need a large skimmer and it seems to be sized to work well.
So far since my addition of my sump I have tried the Marineland In-sump and the ASM Mini-G.
The ASM was very noisey and really didn't skim that well,the neck seems a little large for it's size and the Marineland skimmer actually skims better in my tank.

I'm shocked about the mini-G! I thought they'd be great.

I looked into a Tunze nano skimmer at one point and a bunch of people seemed to really love them but I don't have personal experience with them.

I used the Tunze in my RSM. It was quiet and did a very decent job of skimming. I don't think you'd be disappointed.

I bought Janie's.... very quiet. My first skimmer, so I can't compare, but it sucks out the nasties. It's pretty finicky about the water level being precise, but no problem if you have an ATO.

Thanks everyone!
It will be in a sump with a constant water level so maybe it won't be too much hassle to get it dialed in.
I haven't bought one yet so I am open to other suggestions for a nice quiet skimmer.

Hard to beat the 9002. I have one on my 24g NanoCube and it skims fairly well and is super quiet. I need to tweak it a bit to get it skimming better, but I like it overall.
