REEF OCTOPUS BH50 Skimmer in a BC29

[rodasphoto]

I want to upgrade my skimmer on my tank and was wondering if the REEF OCTOPUS BH50 nano would fit in the second chamber of a 29 gallon biocube? Has anybody heard anything about this skimmer?

I also between this skimmer as well

I have tried to find the right skimmer for my BioCube29 forever. I got fed up with trying to make something work and went with the Aquaticlife 115. I know it is cheap and not the best but I want a closed top.

The Tunze 9002 will fit in chamber 2.

My tank is top less. I just want the best skimmer I can fit in the back. I have the aquatic life 115. But I feel it could skim better.

Have you tried modding the 115?

I have. I did the air line mod

I did the airline mod and that has worked for me. The only complaint I have is I cannot get the skimmer to sit right to not fill up so fast. You have to have the skimmer just above the water line for it to work correctly and in chamber one it interferes with the in Tank media basket. Everything just has to sit just right and everything works great.

The 115 works but it does not skim as dry as I would like or pull as much out of the water as I would like.
