Jonny123 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Hello, I have a protein skimmer that isn't working at the moment. I have a Biocube 29 and I was looking at getting a Tunze skimmer. There seems to be several models, I was about to buy the 9002 but it seems to be discontinued.. Can anyone tell me what the best skimmer would be? Link to comment
bioload Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Not sure if it will fit but the Tunze 9004 is a big improvement . Link to comment

pgrVII Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Tune 9001 is really quiet and pulls nice dark skim when it ran in my nano cube 28. I dunno if it would fit but a cad pls 50 would be awesome too. I run this in my 40. I can't comment to much on other skimmers as I haven't used them just read about em. For your tank tunze 9001 would be awesome. Link to comment
PathOfDeception Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Are you looking at an in tank skimmer or a hang on model? Budget? Link to comment
aquageek Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I could never get a nano skimmer to work quite right in my BC29. I feel like they are just too small. Plus it was a pain any time I had to clean it as they fit in there so damn tight. I actually ended up so frustrated with my back compartments in my BC29 that I ended up just ripping that whole back chamber out, drilling the tank and setting up a sump lol. Out of all the nano skimmers I did try, I feel like the Tunze 9001 was the best of them. Link to comment
Jonny123 Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 I guess i'm looking for something that can fit in the second chamber of the Biocube 29. Tunze 9001 or 9004? I already have a media basket in there. so i need something that will take up only half of the chamber. Link to comment
PathOfDeception Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 The aquatic life mini skimmer 115, I'm not sure if it will fit but it is quite small. Not sure on performance but better than that coralife one that I got rid of after a couple weeks. Link to comment
Jonny123 Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 I ended up going with the Tunze 9001...I'm not sure whether it takes time to break in, but I seems to work intermittently. Link to comment

StevieT Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 All skimmers have a break in period of about 2 weeks Link to comment
