skimmer question

[benandmandyfish]

I have a 29 gal biocube, I have heard mixed reviews about the oceanic biocube skimmer. Wondering what other people are using for their biocube?

Water changes were the easiest way when I had my aquapod.

Gregs right on the water changes, but even if it isnt working well, the skimmer will still oxygenate the water, drive off dissolved CO2 and keep the pH ballanced.

I would still run it, if you have it.

Well I don't have one yet. I just built an acrylic sump for my biocube, and was planning on getting a skimmer for it until I read the reviews on the oceanic brand biocube skimmer. So I don't necessarily need it if I do water changes (which I do once a week), but it would be a benefit to have one?

 

[ghellin]

I never had one and I had no problem with my parameters, believe it or not when I skipped a week on a water change it looked better LOL. Is it drilled? What size acrylic sump?

 

[benandmandyfish]

Yes it is drilled and I don't exactly know how many gallons the sump is, I just built it to fit under neath the stand. It has to at least be 10 gallons if not more

If you can fit a skimmer than by all means add one. I would try to find an in sump skimmer.
