Really only one question, but i did just make my first purchase from you today (bc29 fuge basket and nimble nano cause my nano mag sucks). Anywho, I am picking up a bc29 from asstastic today (my brother in law) which already has the media rack, flow directors, and aquaticlife mini 115 skimmer that he got from you. My question is, do you (or anyone that reads this) think it would be better to upgrade the skimmer to a tunze 9002 with your cup in the near future, or does the mini 115 do a good enough job? As this is going to be an sps dominant tank i want as perfect parameters as i can get. I'll probably do weekly 5 gallon water changes with a 10+ gallon change once a month, so would the mini 115 suffice?

 

On another note, do you think the ac50 media basket would work with chemipure and chaeto in the big chamber, or should i only run just media or just chaeto to allow for enough room?

 

From what i've seen on the tank so far you make great products. Keep up the good work and thanks for any advice.

Hello-

 

Thank you for the order. The 9002 is a better skimmer but why not try out the aquaticlife first. See how it does after break in I assume the tank is set up already and will just be moved.

 

With regular water changes and the media basket/fuge basket and the skimmer you have good filtration in the tank.

 

I don't really understand the question on the AC50 media basket, it is designed to work in it's own filter system and not in the BC29.

 

Run media in that basket and run chaeto in the fuge basket.

the ac50 is on a different tank, a 12" cube to be exact.

 

i planned on running the 115 on the biocube for a least a month or so, but was just wondering how well it measured up to the 9002. thanks for the quick reply

Gotcha - I would just run one or the other on the AC50. The filter is not that large to accommodate both effectively IMO. Unless you went to an AC70 then there is more room.

 

The 9002 is better no question here about that but I have herd very good things about the 115. With your set up you have the best of all world. Pretty good skimmer but media and large amounts of chaeto.
