+1 abulgin, do you have a sump or is it like a biocube with rear chambers. I use the oceanic skimmer and its OK, but i recently read on a forum that if you replace the stock stone with a coralife stone (I know, they are in fact made of limewoodd) it works great. But if you have more money than I do, which is probably the case...I'm a college student...the tunze 9002 is great and fits in chamber 2 of the BC29, its about 175 shipped.

What type of tank are you going for; FOWLR, Reef, etc. How do you filter now, you may want to considor a fuge or sump. Just curious what type of tank is it, JBJ or a standard glass one?
