Tunze 9005 - In Tank Use

[JOSEPHLB]

Currently looking at a skimmer option for my 65g. No sump, so I'm looking at a HOT option. I'm a little worried about going with the Remora and then I've come across this particular Tunze model, the DOC 9005.

How is this skimmer implemented for in-tank use? Does it hang on the tank edge and extend in the water? The photos on Marine Depot do not fully illustrate this, and I'm having trouble "picturing" how it works.

Would the 9005 be a viable option for use in my 65g (36x18x24) ??

Thanks!

It installs inside the aquarium. It would be a good skimmer for that tank, given the risk of leaks and overflows we do not make HOB skimmers.

Roger, thanks for the quick response.

How does it install inside the aquarium? If purchased from one of retailers (Marine Depot, etc..), is everything included for the initial install and immediate use?

It includes clamps that clamp to the side but as an easier alternative you can use the magnet holders.
