I'm looking for a quality skimmer to go into a biocube 29 reef. Any ideas?
maxst2 said:Couldn't disagree more with you greenturtle. A skimmer is best in any tank.
I have a tunze 9002 and It fits in the 2nd section. Getting the collection cup from inTank so you don't have to cut the hood to fit the collection cup.
Its pricy, but its a beast.
maxst2 said:fuge in intake chamber chamber one. chamber two has poly fill on top, next layer purgien, bottom will have carbon next to that media basket is the tunze skimmer which goes into the return chamber.
cant say i can buy someone saying a fuge removes organics. nitrates and phosphates yeah since the algae in it will do that... but there is more that that. skimmer will oxygenate the tank well too.
maxst2 said:Tunze has to go into the middle chamber - wont fit anywhere else.
Greenturtle said:Good to know. So will this work?
Chamber 1 - Refugium w/ Chaeto & Chemipure Elite
Chamber 2 - Tunze 9002 w/ InTank Collection Cup
Chamber 3 - 100w Heater + Purigen
