Dramad1 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Oh snap, wonder if I could fit this in the bc29. Looks promising Link to comment
Marine Depot Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 The footprint is 3.2" x 5.9". The 5.9" length should be no problem. The 3.2" width may be a tight squeeze. We would recommend measuring your BioCube (middle chamber), just to make sure. Let us know what you find out as I am sure many others are curious too. Link to comment

jolee0722 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I have 11" to work with . Would I have to buy a riser for the skimmer or would I still be able to use the skimmer in 11"? I have heard really good things about this skimmer and I really want to buy it. Link to comment
JR! Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 you guys should make a video of this one running. would love to see it. Link to comment
D Z Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 you guys should make a video of this one running. would love to see it. If MD doesnt get around to it, I will be writing up a full review within a couple weeks, which will probably include a video. Link to comment
Marine Depot Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 you guys should make a video of this one running. would love to see it. Thank you for the recommendation. I think it's definitely possible. We have a production schedule we mostly adhere to but when new, cool products become available... sometimes we gotta shake things up and highlight what's hot! I've passed your feedback along to our video team this morning for consideration. If MD doesnt get around to it, I will be writing up a full review within a couple weeks, which will probably include a video. Excellent! Link to comment

I have heard really good things about this skimmer and I really want to buy it. 11" is too deep so a riser of some sort will be required. Fortunately, they are fairly easy to make: our staff has improvised using egg crate and even Tupperware in the past. Link to comment
Phin Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 What is the height of this skimmer "with" the cup on. Interested in hearing some more about this skimmer. Those who have one, would appreciate your opinions. Link to comment
Spiderguardnano Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Will this fit the innovative marine 25g? Link to comment
Admonition Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Or an IM fusion 30L? Link to comment
D Z Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 For anyone interested in this skimmer, here is a link to the review that I wrote on it. I thought I had already posted this in this thread, but I guess not. http://www.nano-reef.com/topic/362312-review-aquamaxx-ws-1-protein-skimmer/ What is the height of this skimmer "with" the cup on. Interested in hearing some more about this skimmer. Those who have one, would appreciate your opinions. It really depends on how you are skimming. You adjust the skimmer by raising and lowering the cup in the body of the skimmer, therefor it ranges. The height of the skimmer body only is 14". The cup is another 5.5, but always sits down into the skimmer at least 1". Therefore, I would say the absolute highest would be a total of around 18", but more realistically around 16 - 18". Will this fit the innovative marine 25g? No, it looks like your rear chamber is only 2.8" deep. The skimmer is 3.2", so unfortunately it will not fit. Or an IM fusion 30L? The skimmer's footprint is 5.9 x 3.2, so it looks like it will fit, but it would have to go in the return pump chamber. It will not fit in the skimmer/media chambers. You may also have to adjust your water height by adding/removing water to get it into the 8-10" range.(I have never used this tank, so I do not know where the water height typically is) The only issue I would mention is that with the skimmer in the return pump chamber, the water level will fluctuate with evaporation. I would suggest using a precise ATO so that it doesn't drop more than an inch or so before triggering the ATO to add RODI to the tank. Otherwise, you will not get the best performance out of the skimmer. Link to comment
