not sure of how much help that i can be since I am not that experienced. But the word that I have heard is that they are great and easy to set up. Basically just put the water and sand in and start landscaping.

Hey gerwin,

This is what i found that might be the best option for the biocube 29 protein skimmer. Is this something you can order? If so i would like the tunze 9002, upgraded skim cup, and the media box.

I took the liberty of ordering the upgraded skim cup and media basket because the were custom made from a biocube accessory site. If your interested here it is.

For those interested Gerwin hooked me up with the Tunze 9002 skimmer about a week ago. Installation took about 5 min because it is a perfect in the biocube 29. Only modification is to remove the false bottom in the large center compartment which just lifts out. The skimmer is now broken in and skimming very well. Here is the video.
