I can’t say I had the same tunze experience
I had the wires become loose and exposed in a wave type stream thing
They definitely didn’t send me a replacement
It’s been several years now so I don’t remember the details
But I am glad to hear that good customer service is possible
an option would be to run the skimmer in its own tank/sump
On its own pump and returns back to main sump
Might be aesthetically undesirable, but way easier to maintain
Will be fun!
But from personal experience, I would want more head height above the sump
Looks a bit tight from here
How will you clean the skimmer cup?
While you’re investigating.....
Poly bio marine Kold Ster-il
I would have included the link, but it’s “not secure”
NO WASTE Water!
I’ve been using it for 20 years, hooks to hose,
However I use NSW
