andrenym00 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Does anyone know if the biocube protein skimmer fits in chamber one with a heater? I have a biocube 29, thx Link to comment
Squared Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 look into a better skimmer, they won't be too much more expensive. Link to comment
wartskin Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 It dosent in my 14 I have my heater in the 3rd one with the return which means I have to run the water level past maximum Link to comment
andrenym00 Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 look into a better skimmer, they won't be too much more expensive. I would but I have a media basket, fuge basket in chamber 2 and heater in chamber one, which is why I was asking if it fit in chamber one with a heater.I know that the other ones wont. It dosent in my 14 I have my heater in the 3rd one with the return which means I have to run the water level past maximum Biocube 29 and 14 have same size chamber one? I guess if it does I'll stick with the fuge and forget the skimmer. Link to comment
inTank Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Just do a water change If you really want a skimmer the aquaticlife 115 fits into chamber one. You could move the heater to chamber three. Link to comment

NathanF Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I ran a biocube protein skimmer in the 1st chamber along with a heater for a while even when I had a media basket in the middle chamber. The overlap of the protein skimmer and the media basket contents pretty much made the protein skimmer useless. I went from getting some gunk to almost nothing. Maybe a more efficient skimmer could be useful but if there's not a lot of free protein in the water... Link to comment
StevieT Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Do you know if its smaller then Oceanics? It's much larger, which is why it works. It will not fit on the BC14 only the 29 You don't have to force a skimmer in to the mix, with proper filtration and regular water changes it's not going to do much. Link to comment

NathanF Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 So they both fit in chamber one? Affirmative. But with the media basket in place the skimmer was not efficient enough to do much. Link to comment
