EspiE Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Kyle - I just preordered a BC29 skimmer from nanotuners. How many skimmers are going to be released on this first batch? They said there were about 20 people in front of me - any ideas on how long it's gonna be? I'm ready to get it going and write you a good review. =) Link to comment

EspiE Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 where can i get the sapphire skimmer for the Bio-Cube 29? plz i need a skimmer for my nano ASAP, and i cant find this one... They are taking preorders at nanotuners.com and nanocustoms.com. Looks like it's gonna be worth the wait. Link to comment
figuerres Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 tmelhiser - I am starting small with two offerings, a 10 gallon 14"x16"x14" and a 22 gallon 24"x16"x14". I really like the idea of a 75 or 90 AIO tank so I will look into what it will cost and see if it makes sense. Hopefully these nano tanks will do well, I think they are very good looking and will be priced right for what you get. First batch of skimmers will be going out next week. How is it going ?? will shipping start soon?? (I have a pre-order for the BC29 unit thru nanotuners) Thanks! Denny Link to comment
wedgef5 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 acrofish - The surface skimmer is needed for the skimmer to operate properly and keep the water level in the display up near the top. Basser1 has a Biocube and it does not require the use of a surface skimmer but the Nanocubes do. The water level in the rear chambers is established by the baffles and the only fluctuation in water level should be in the third, left to right, return chamber. The baffle between the middle and right chamber has a small gap in it about three inches down. You want to keep your water level at or slightly below this gap. This will keep the water level in the middle chamber at a constant level. Kyle, This confuses me a bit, and admittedly I've always been unclear as to how high the water level should be in the rear of my NC24. You say the water level should be "at or slightly below" the gap between the middle and right chambers. If the water level is below the gap, how would water get into the 3rd chamber, where the return pump resides? Maybe I'm more confused than usual. BTW...I just pre-ordered my NC24 skimmer from Nanotuners, and I am psyched! Link to comment
figuerres Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 How is it going ?? will shipping start soon?? (I have a pre-order for the BC29 unit thru nanotuners)Thanks! Denny Bump. it's thursday night ... any news ?? Link to comment
Nickeleye Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I was told the 24/29g skimmers should be shipping anytime now. I'm hoping to start notifying customers with shipping information as soon as I get details from Sapphire. Link to comment
Sapphire Aquatics Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Sorry for the lack of response this week. We have been fine tuning the skimmers so there are no microbubbles released from it and tweaking the performance of the impellers. Finally there are no micros released and no need for sponge or filter floss. I didn't want to release the first batch until we had it just right. I don't want to see any of them come back and I know you wouldn't want to send it back after waiting all of this time. It will be worth the wait. Link to comment

basser1 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Any info on a upgrade package for the older BC-29R...I love mine... Go to page 2 of this thread and read posts #21 thru #25, I asked basically the same question. As I understand it, Kyle is now using Sicce pumps instead of the maxi-jets. The new impellers may not work with the maxi-jets. Hence we may have to purchase the Sicce pump for the new impeller to work. Maybe Kyle can confirm this for us. Link to comment

Thanks, I understand your desire to "Get it right the first time". I am in Tampa and I know what a mess the storm was. and I write computer software... getting it right is a big deal when customers can be impressed to keep coming back or not impressed and ready to skin you for some bug. Glad to hear the news. BTW I see an empty domain with a place holder, do you want any help getting that working ?? Link to comment

Sapphire Aquatics Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Just waiting for the last couple of parts to come in for the gate valves. Should be here very soon! Link to comment
skimmerdude Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Just waiting for the last couple of parts to come in for the gate valves. Should be here very soon! I am sure you are busy getting the first batch out the door, any ideas on if/when the nano sump and overflows will be ready? Any thoughts on making other products such as calcium reactors etc? I'm looking forward to seeing your first batch sent out, I will definitely be one of the first in line to purchase an upgrade package for the old bc29r skimmer. Link to comment

We're all beyond anxious to get our new toys! Has Kyle given any indication if he thought he'd able to fulfill all of the pre-orders on the first shipment? Link to comment
