which tank do you have? Would be helpful to know the dimensions of the skimmer chamber. Must people use Tunze skimmers on the back of an AIO that size. The smaller fusions like mine can use the Icecap K1.

i have a 20 WB AIO and cant seem to find one that fits correctly. I don't want to hang it inside the tank as i'm limited on size already since it is just a 20. Any one else install one in their 20 WB

I have the ice cap k-1 nano on my water box 10 cube. I just removed the hangin bracket and built a small eggcrate stand to put the skimmer at the proper height I wanted. Works great.

any chance you could snap a pic?
Here’s the skimmer. I had to leave for work so couldn’t get anymore showing the egg crate.

Second for Icecap K1. I have a fusion 25 lagoon and started with the IM skimmer. What a piece of junk. The Icecap K1 actually pulls a decent amount of junk

What is the water level? I found mine runs best in about 5-6"
