No skimmer. Got the inTank media basket and fuge on the way. I went with the sicce .5, it's in the photo. From what I've read elsewhere, the 1.0 fits but can almost be too much flow for the rear chambers. Not planning to keep any sps, just easy softies and maybe some lps. Hoping that between the media, fuge, and wcs can get by without a skimmer. Gonna just get a solo fish.The Sicce 1.5 fits in the IM 20. I believe the 2.0 is just a hair to large.

Yeah I haven't heard any rave reviews as far as the IM skimmer is concerned. Figure with some carbon/gfo in the form of chemipure and some chaeto in the fuge, after wcs I'd be in decent shape.I used the .5 in my IM 10 as well. The problem with maxing out in the IM returns is their placement. If the flow is too much you get salt being flung everywhere. I also ran mine with three fish with no skimmer. It's just not necessary in that tank as long as you're doing water changes and frankly the IM skimmer sucks (I stil run two of them, but don't love them.) Many people use the Tunze skimmer for larger IM's.
If you mean the IM Ghost Desktop Mini, then yes, it sucks. The material is too slick and takes forever to break in enough to allow bubbles to crawl up into the collection cup. I think mine ran for nearly a month before it produced any skimmate at all. I've had better luck with the Red Sea airstone driven skimmer. I own two of them and they produce skimmate the first night I start them up.It's just not necessary in that tank as long as you're doing water changes and frankly the IM skimmer sucks (I still run two of them, but don't love them.)
