biocube sump?
hi,
I have a 29 gallon biocube thats been running for about nine months.I am not happy with the biocube skimmer,it has now stopped working and it is a pain to change the airstone.The problem is that no other skimmer fits into the biocube. would it be worth it to get a custom tank for the sump?(only 5 1/2 gallon fits) is this the only way to get a different skimmer? should i add a refugium to the sump? also what skimmer would you recommend? thank you so much for your help, fish77 |

Thank you Ecoknvl but I had brought the Aqauticlife 115 Mini Skimmer before the biocube skimmer and it did not fit.

Would a HOB skimmer or refugium w/skimmer work?
Adding a ext. overflow (for sump) often causes problems.

Fish77,
adding a sump to a Biocube without doing any modifications to the cube itself is very difficult. I had one for a year and added a sump. Search nano-reef forum for my name and you will see some options, but as I said, very difficult. hope it helps, Marian
