I've used a Tunze 9002 on my 20G (+10G sump) for about a year and it did the job. Considering it's just a tiny pump inside I wasn't expecting huge amounts of skimmate but it did produce regular amounts of it. Wetter than most skimmers I've seen but after reading around this seems to be normal.
A couple weeks ago I bought a used Deltec 500 since I'm upgrading tanks and it's been running in my new 30g sump and pulling out much dryer dark skimmate, as I expect a higher power unit would.
the only thing with the 9002 is that it's in tank. I didn't have a sump at first on my 20g and it was annoying having that big block on the side.
