I finally gave in and bought an InTank Media Basket for BC14

Well, after 3.5 years I folded.

The InTank media basket is in the mail with fresh Chemipute Elite, Purigen, and filter floss.

 

I hope I like this thing. My argument the whole time (with myself) was over whether or not this thing is worth 50 bucks? Sure it looks well designed and clean cut, but is the value, results, and ROI there?

 

I know people love and rave about this thing. I guess, well, I am anxiously awaiting to see the results myself...

WOO HOO!

 

Best investment you can make IMO. double your filtration for $50 bucks- cheaper than a skimmer, reactor, etc.

I've tried so many different rear chamber configurations except the InTank.

I am expecting my corals to look extra happy.

Intank media baskets for my nanocube 28G and fusion 10G has been some of the best spent money for both of my tanks! They are very nice media baskets!

Thanks for the reassurance! It will be a suspenseful week while I wait for my shipment to arrive. It has other goodies in there also. :)

Intank media baskets are the best! I have one for my bc29 and it is awesome. Totally worth the money.

You'll totally love it. I had one in my RSM starting in 2008. Bestestet thing ever. Plus wettest water you'll ever experience and if you were using the stock filter cartridges will pay for itself shortly.

I had one in my RSM, excellent. Use one in my 10g Fusion - excellent. Also have one in an AC70 ... Excellent.

Sucks man. The next thing I need to cave on and buy is Amazon Prime. LOL

Know anyone with Prime? They can share their account with you. They just put in your email into their account and it gives you prime on your account. You just don't get the Prime Video or free kindle books.

I agree. My inTank basket for my JBJ 30g rimless is a HUGE improvement over the stock basket. I use a Tunze 9004 skimmer in the other return chamber which I recommend highly and makes for a great filtration combo.My water is now extra wet!

First of all, some Chemi-Pure blue, Swedish fish, and Media baskets. Once you have that down, we can explain further :lol:

You want wet water don't you? Like really wet water? I mean who doesn't? Well inTank is the way to go. Just kind of a running joke for keeping your water as pure as possible!

It's either a running joke or an inside joke. One of them two.

I just got one too been 7 years without one makes media changes a snap!

Sweet. Right now my Chemipure Elite and Purigen are buried under the false floor in chamber 2. Definitely a PITA to get to.

Cant wait to hook this thing up later tonight!

So, its installed as of last night. It seems to be working quite well. I don't notice my water being any wetter than before. The unit is clean and well made, thats for sure. It is nice to have the organization of the chambers for my media. The part I think I like the most is the top chamber, I stuff my filter floss in there. It will be easy to change it out which I frequently have to do.

Worth the $50? I guess? I would rather it be like $25 and think thats more of a fair price for its capabilities. I wonder what the manufacturing cost is on one of these things?
