Does this sound like a good deal to buy?

How does this sound to buy:
Aqua C Remora Nano protein skimmer with pump for $90

and Do u think it would be able to fit in a nano cube?

e46slc · 06/06/2011, 07:44 AM

Which nano cube do you have?

d0ughb0y · 06/06/2011, 12:01 PM

if you have 12" from the tank rim to the bottom, you can hang a regular aqua c remora. the regular remora will skim better than a nano remora. prices for skimmers have come down since a couple years ago, so you can get much better skimmers now than the remora for the same price.

JBJ 28 Gallon Nano Cube HQI (older model) with pump on far right. and intake on the left.

I bought a skimmer off some guy did my research on it and it dosent fit in the back of the nano(he told me the wrong type). Can i cut a baffle and the back wall of the aquarium so it fits?

reefmanmatt · 06/11/2011, 11:07 AM

i ran the same thing ,bought it done ...the guy notched the output of the remora to fit over the baffle versus what you said and it worked great .
edit : i ran mine hang on , and wouldnt cut the aquarium... just read that part over .

partydiver · 06/11/2011, 11:23 AM

How would you do that?

reefmanmatt · 06/11/2011, 09:10 PM

i didnt run a top though , just a pendent hqi . let me know ..

reefmanmatt · 06/12/2011, 05:31 AM

i still think you should try to get it a few bucks cheaper ... talked to w , he said sure - come take pics so ill put them up this afternoon

reefmanmatt · 06/12/2011, 06:03 AM

found this old 1 on my photobucket of the setup . just so were sure its the same equipment .

partydiver · 06/12/2011, 07:15 AM

I think it's the same but i have the hood on mine

partydiver · 06/12/2011, 10:02 AM

No openess on the top compleaty covered on the hood... I was thinking of cutting out spaces so the intake and return can fit on it sitll.

partydiver · 06/13/2011, 05:32 AM

I figured it out. I'll wait a couple of months and build a sump for it. I'll run the skimmer on the weekends when the lights r off with the hood open.

partydiver · 06/15/2011, 02:24 PM

Any ideas on a 10-20 gallon sump while still keeping the hood on?

One reason the BioCube is so popular is no sump or skimmer to worry about. Why does everyone seem to want to add them.

3 reasons for me:
1) Added volume
2) Was thinking on adding a small fuge in it.. I want a mandarin
3) Some guy got me to buy a skimmer off him and he told me the wrong type of skimmer so i almost need a sump so i can use the skimmer

*Bump*
Can you have a hob overflow on the nano with just a cut out of the back of the hood?
