MediaBaskets.com Biocube 29 Media/Fuge Baskets

[adalius]

So I ordered a fuge basket, media basket, and submersible 10W halogen from Mediabaskets.com.
I placed my order Sunday night, and had it in my hands Tuesday (turns out they are made about a half hour from me, didn't even know!). They look awesome. The videos online for installing them show an older model with eggcrate, the new models have laser cut shelves and supports made of dark green acrylic that really looks slick.

Here's the stuff after I unpacked it.


Here's some close ups of engraved logos they put on them.



Here's it installed (but I didn't put the clips to hold it in yet):


Installation is super simple. Just drop them in and slip on 2 U-shaped clips to hold it in place. It fits a little tight at the lip of the tank but there's more room once it's inside.

Here's after I moved my floss over and put the light down inside.


Here's a shot of how much light the fuge lamp throws.


And how much out the back:


And one more of it lit:


All in all, the package cost about $90, and the quality is top notch. I have to get some chaeto to put in it yet, but based on the water height I think it will do just fine.

The only gripe I have is that the manual (not the video instructions) is in a broken link on their website, and they send you two small acrylic pieces to make a water diverter to direct the water in the media basket. They show pictures of how to place them, but they don't tell you anywhere that you'll need WeldOn to mount them. They don't attach them before shipping because they send you two size clips, one for stock BC29s and one for those of us who removed the plastic water diverter to get more flow.

All in all, they get a from me.
