Ok so I picked up a 9002 skimmer for a 29g. I'm doing what I think everyone does and learning how this skimmer works. I have noticed that there is no true intake for this skimmer. How does dirty water come into this skimmer if the pump is more or less a recirculating pump. I want to add a feed line into the skimmer that will put dirty water right into the skimmer. Nothing that powerful, maybe less than 20 gals an hour. What do yall think. Good idea or bad?
tunze 9002 mod. (Water feed line)

Best nano skimmer on the market and you want to mod it? Haha no and yes it's pulling the dirty water in.

i wouldn't say it is the best by any means….but that mod is not necessary…if anything open up the grate in the side a little more. and do the airline mod.

well it is not really a recirc pump…unless you refer to the sump chamber as the reservoir…the inlet of the pump is against the side of the body, so it is sucking the water from outside the body…a recirc would suck water from within the body..
I just trying to see how it pulls water in when the intake is inside the body and with the defuser on the pump. I know it's a great skimmer from the reviews though.
