I am new to this forum but not new to the hobby and have recently had to downsize so i chose the new innovative marine peninsula tank because it looks awesome on our kitchen bar. I have it cycled but have not added a skimmer yet because i have not found too much good information about what skimmer would work best in it but my options are in between the eshopps nano skimmer the tunze 9011 or the one that innovative marine makes for the tank. In the first chamber i have a media basket from intank with filter floss and a few chemipure blue nano packs and i upgraded the pump to the sicce 1.0(which is awesome btw)
So basically any pro tips as far as a skimmer goes as well as another option for led lighting besides the current orbit marine ic light.

I think I'd go with the Tunze skimmer. From the comments I've read on here, people seem to be the happiest with their nano skimmer lineup. I got a larger one for my IM40 that I love.

You say you want a suggestion other than Orbit Marine. Is there a reason for this? I saw their loop lineup at MACNA and came away thoroughly impressed.

I'm starting up an IM 20g peninsula. What skimmer did you decide to go with?

Not the quoted poster but I have the reef glass skimmer in my 20 Peninsula. It's taken quite a while to get dialed in, and I don't like that it needs an external air pump, but it doesn't take up too much space in the small sump area.
