Hello, is this a overflow system? 

Mind sharing pointers of where u get the tank and such? 

Im new in this and would like to keep some clownfishes for a start. 

Thankyou! 


Overflow system come with a sump, the picture does not suggest that. Looks like a Nano tank.

Nano tanks can come with an integrated sump, otherwise known as IOS. An example would be the IM fusion 10, which I'm using.

btw not all damsels display similar aggression levels. More docile damsels include the talbot, springeri

My yellow tail damsel is not aggressive, but I suspect it's only because there's two clownfish keeping him in check. Otherwise, I had another damsel that was absolute terror, even killed fish bigger than him

One of the challenges of the Novu Fusion 10 g tank is there are very few skimmers that can fit into the IOS (at the back). I was using this china made (nothing wrong with china made) spindle wheel skimmer that just barely fit but after months it is just a bubbling machine. And the ideal skimmer is the Tunze 9001 but if you look at the specs, it is just too large and if you check online, there are posts on modifying the IOS by cutting the glass divider and that's too much work!

Here is the good news. By some accidental luck, the Tunze 9001 actually fits the second chamber perfectly. The glass ledge is just nice to hang the skimmer after you removed the magnet holder.

I did not remove the glass separator in the tank too much work. All I did is flip the motor unit 180 degree (9001 can do that). Remove the magnet for attaching to the glass. I trim off the black plastic magnet holder. And it fits perfectly. If you don't wish to trim off I think it is fine too.

So apart from the IM desktop ghost skimmer, the Baoyu small cylindrical skimmer, you now can add tunze 9001 skimmer.

No worries in case my fellow Tangs in Distress (pun intended). My uncle has a much larger tank and will be transferring. :-) As for the Damsel, luck of the draw, this fish is quite tame but it is an exception rather than the rule.
