Ando Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 HAHA! Well I'm not sure which skimmer to get? Or If I even need to spend 150 on one lol Link to comment
TheStar Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I thought the sapphire was an out of tank skimmer? Sapphire fits right in Chamber 2. It takes up the whole chamber but fits perfectly without any mods. Link to comment
SpankythePyro Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 the 9002 will allow you a media rack... I'm going to be running chemi-pure and purigen...and possibly turning chamber 1 into a fuge somehow... lol Link to comment
Ando Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 I was thinking of the sapphire but i didnt know it took up the whole middle chamber.. I think the tunze will be perfect. So next on the list tunze 9002 Ro/DI ? ^^^not sure on what yet? any ideas on this guys? Link to comment
Nosey Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 It's about time, get the Tunze going Link to comment

Ando Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 For those of u with the tunze how does it sit in your tank? I found one for $100 shipped! Link to comment
mkregs Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 For those of u with the tunze how does it sit in your tank? I found one for $100 shipped! I have it mounted on the wall between chambers 2 and 3. It's a magnetic mount so you can adjust to wherever you keep your water level. Link to comment
Ando Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 The one I was thinking of buying doesnt have the magnet mount...It has like a clip to hang it on... Link to comment

Deckerjustin Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 hey ANDO. iam new to the biocube 29 gallon. i didnt read threw the 9 pages thats on this fourm so i dont know if u have allready sayed it once. Can u tell me more about your lights. how many inches is it? and whats the exact type of t5 are they i would like to buy the same thing. i want to keep hard and soft corals and mushrooms as well. ANY plz help. also for anyone else whats the best lighting company to buy my lights from and also what type. thanks alot for the help Link to comment
Ando Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 The light are 20" apart exact. They fit perfect for a 29gallon biocube. There are 6 bulbs on the light 3 actinic and 3 day light and each bulb has its own individual reflector. They work very good for pretty much any coral Hard, Soft, Mushrooms, Zoos, and clams. I bough the light from aquabuys.com The light was 234.99 with free shipping As for T5 lighting. If each bulb does not have its own individual reflector they wont be any better than power compacts. So u want to have very good reflectors. I would highly recommend The Nova Extreme Pro...That's what I have. Let me know if u have any more questions. Link to comment
BigART Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I love my Nova Extreme Pro on my 24G Nano Cube. Link to comment

BigART Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Those look fantastic! I got a new pulsing xenia today. Now I have 3 different kinds. Your tank is coming along nicely Ando. Link to comment
Deckerjustin Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 hey what do u think about this for only a little more http://www.aquabuys.com/miva/merchant.mvc?...roduct_Count=13 i want my tank to look just like urs and do u have a protein skimmer and if not why. whats ur thoughts let me know guys Link to comment
Ando Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 That light is a metal halide. They are good but they give off lots of heat. I live in Florida so I didnt want to take the chance with lots of heat. Metal halides also use more energy to use. T5's are more energy eficient. As for protein skimmers. Im getting one next week. Its a Tunze 9002. If you don't have a protein skimmer I would do bigger water changes. Right now I dont have one so I do about 5 or 10 gallon water changes. Link to comment
