questions about oceanic 29gal bio cube.

[zanew33]

i recently bought a 29gal bio cube and was wondering about a skimmer. Does it realy need one and if so can some please give me an idea on how the made it fit with the hood. Thanks

You can go skimmerless but you will have to keep the fish load to a min. What are you planning on keeping?

You have a few options with nanos.

1. You can go skimmerless, but you must do weekly water changes to export the nutrients.

2. Custom skimmer to fit in. (nice fit - but expensive)
eg: http://www.nanotuners.com/product_info.php?cPath=51&products_id=358

3. Cut the canopy to accept a small skimmer like the remora aqua c.

4. Drill holes and run a external sump.

Each has its upside and downside. Nanos are interesting that way. Check out
