BC29... I think that customized nanocube is a real rip off. I bought my bc29 with stand for 299.99 out the door (I've seen it for that same price many places) I installed a tunze skimmer (which works incredibly well, and I'm sure is far better than the one included in that package-and...

For some reason, the only thing I've had die in the 4months I've had my tank are all scavengers. I lost my mower blenny and my arrow crab. I did not feed them anything. I just assumed they got enough from algea, diatoms, worms etc. they both died after I installed my skimmer. Did they starve to...

In my BC29 with Tunze Skimmer, I have A pair of clowns 1 lawnmower blenny 2 emerald crabs 1 arrow crab 10 hermits I would like to add a cleaner shrimp or coral banded shrimp. AND One more fish. I would really like to get either a dwarf lionfish or some kind of small puffer...

update. did first water test after running tunze steady for a week. for the first time, all of my levels are at zero! This is this first time my nitrate is at zero after being a steady 10ppm for the majoiry of the life of the tank up until now. I love the tunze, thanks for all the help. time to...

Update: skimmer appears to be working great. I have it open about two notches. Now that it is dialed in and pretty solidly filled with foam, it makes very little noise. the collection cup has about a half inch of brown sludge in it after about a week of skimming now. I have made no adjustments...

particles... I have the same exact problem in my bc29. I thought when I got my tunze skimmer dialed in (which now that its working properly is awesome) it would help. I have no problems maintaining my trate, trite or ammonia, but i cant seem to get rid of the particles. my tank is 3 months...

tunze so far. Ok, on my initial run with the tunze, I had the airscrew pretty much set to exactly what you described. about two complete threads, a nice rolling boil right before a full crazy boil. I had it run for about thirty six hours (btw, I think there was a kink in the air hose before...

tunze. ok, I've raised the skimmer as high as it will go without affecting the lid of the biocube. I opened up the skimmer to make sure there were no kinks in the hose. Now, with the air screw turned three notches (basically where I got a nice rolling boil), I get some foam in the tube. the...

tunze. ok, i just closed the screw and watched as you said. could it be described as like a pot on a stove going from turned off, to a slow rolling boil, to a total boil? that is what i see. when it's closed, i see no foam, as i open it, a little bit of foam, and then there is a point where...

re: the powersweep-it stopped sweeping after about three weeks. I'm not sure if it was you, but someone predicted that would happen. Just to be sure, I should only see some bubbling in the bottom of the tube and not it full on blasting through the tube and into the collection cup, right? I...

i have two of them in my biocube and the are extremely UNagressive. they just hang out and eat algea all day.

PICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok, here is where I am at: I have fitted the tunze perfectly in the biocube. the biocube lid closes perfectly, so no problems there. Now, I am just not sure if the skimmer is working properly. I have removed the bio ball set up...

My tunze nano skimmer 9202 is installed. I made a few cuts with a $20 dremmel and it fits nicely. It looks pretty much exactly like the pictures you provided. New problem: I'm not sure how this thing even works!!! I have it swtiched on, it makes a lot of noise and produces some clear foam...

bristleworms. yes, they are purple and almost never come out during the day. they come out and about only when the main lights are off and only the purple led's are on in my cube. they are pretty skiddish and hide when they notice I'm looking at them. so far I only have mushrooms in my tank and...

bristle worms. I did a little research and it appears that the worms I have are actually beneficial as they will eat leftover foods much like snails/hermits. it seems that as long as they are the purple/pink kind (mine are almost neon purple when when the lights are off) and not red/black they...

I have these long purple worms in my tank with spines (the look like pipe cleaners), I'm assuming these are tube worms. Should I take them out when I see them and is there any critters that are known to feed on them? what causes hair algea and how can I get rid of it? I test for...

any suggestions? ???

tunze! my skimmer arrived today it is pretty small! I'm going to wait until the weekend to install. let me make sure I have this correct: -get rid of the bio ball and the strainer above them entirely? -do I leave the carbon filter in chamber one? -do I load the extra space not...

tunze 9002. ordered my tunze from marinedepot.com. it was $145 after shipping. will post pics when I get it. thanks for the help.

tunze. I did some research and the tunze seems like the one to get. it is $130, same price as the other two. What tools are needed to make the cut? could it be done with a good pair of shears? or is a rotary blade required? I am running my biocube pretty much bone stock (just an added...
