Skimmer for a 29 bio cube

[medwards]

What skimmer choices should i look at for a new skimmer for the 29 gallon bio cube. Im using the bio cube skimmer now and I need somthing better. I dont want to cut or mod the back chambers. Thanks!!!

Sapphire aquatics or aqua c makes a skimmer i believe

saphire is out of business. I'm considering a tunze nano skimmer or aquaticlife internal protein skimmer.

one of the former owners of euro reef also has a line of skimmers for nano tanks....can't recall the name/site right now though.

The tunze wont fit, id have to cut the top. Anyone ever use the aquaticlife skimmer? It looks like it would fit. Id have to find a new spot for the heater though.

You have to get the custom collection cup from http://mediabaskets.com ...then
it should fit. Video here: http://mediabaskets.com/Demo_Rack_with_Tunze.html

Well thats cool, how much is the custom collection cup going for? I can only find the price of the skimmer itself.

I think it's around $40-50. So you'll have some jing wrapped up into it.

And used ones get snapped up fast...I'd buy one if I could find one. I'm wondering if I will be able to fit the tunze in the back compartment with the back magnets for the fragstations in the compartments.

Thats probably going to be a tight fit. That is sweet setup but man its expensive. Just as much as the cube itself.

[jimsflies]

yeah...best bet is to keep an eye out for used. Seen the whole set up sell used for around $100.

If I were you, I wouldn't get a skimmer for the 29BC. I went years w/o having one, & my tank ran fine. As long as you keep up on your water changes, you'll be fine.

Just my 2 pennies.
