Cube Skimmers!

[skywestseth]

I have searched through the threads about the skimmers on the market. I am looking for some real solid advice on buying a new skimmer for my 29g BioCube. I currently have the Oceanic one, which seems to pretty much be garbage.

I was looking at replacing it with a Tunze 9002 but through the searching, it seems as though the reviews aren't terribly great.

I am looking to keep it in the middle chamber of my cube.

Recommendations?

Interested in this as well. I have a 28g Nano Cube. It came with an AquaEuro Nano Skimmer II that wouldn't fit in any of the compartments! I contacted the makers of Nano tanks and was told it needed to go in the DT itself, which was not acceptable....the thing isn't particulary pretty. So I read and read and decided to try the Tunze 9002...I got that and found it would only fit if I completely removed and did without the media basket. So that one went back. I read some more and someone said I could remove some tubing from the Nano Skimmer and it would still work, so I did that. Does it work? I don't know. I have a brand new system that I just started cycling 2 days ago so there is really nothing to skim yet. I'll give it a try.

Lots of people are using that aquamax HOB one but to use on my tank I'd have to make some alterations (ack!) for it to fit properly and still allow me to open the lid.

I keep saying someone could get very rich quickly if they invented a protein skimmer that works well on these smaller tanks and doesn't require a lot of messing around to get it to fit. I'll be following this thread with you in hopes of getting some sound advice.
