Skimmer for Nanocube JBJ 28g

[ktipp]

Do you have a JBJ and was able to find a good quiet skimmer that fits in the chamber in the back next to the media chamber?

Thanks

Agreed. I have it and regret buying it all the time.

The top if the tube is already cracking and falling apart from removing the collection cup. it's junk. I'd be running a reef octo bh1100 but it would block my light from the chaeto. The tunze 9002 nano skimmer is a good alternative, I've read. I have no personal experience with it... Yet!

My nano is in my bedroom...is the Octo loud...I don't want it to disturb sleep or watching tv?

Does it fit in the JBJ 28g nanocube next to the media chamber without mods?

Thanks

No personal experience. It's an external pump though. Intake on the skimmer chamber and return in the heater chamber from what remember. If you google it, you should find forms with reviews on it.

As above, the JBJ airstone one is junk. I purchased the aquaeuro nano skimmer 2 and have been happy with it. It DOES take some break in time, but then it does its job well

Fits (without the side attachment) into the JBJ28 back chamber just fine.

It's not loud at all...not any louder than the 2 stock pumps in the cube. I'm at work, but I can try to take a pic at home this evening.
