Biocube Skimmer
 

Hey everyone. I was curious about the new Biocube skimmers. Has anyone tried one yet, like it, hate it?

Bump.

I've looked at them too and wondered if they were any good. I'll see what I can find out tonight and post you some links.

They are an ok product, requires a lot of adjusting to get the skimate right. The sapphire Aquatics skimmer is a better product.

I'm useing one and prefer it to my sapphire Aquatics skimmer

Really castaway? What dont you like about the sapphire aquatics one?

I cant comment on the Biocube skimmer but I have the Sapphire Aquatics NC12 skimmer and it is junk. First problem I have is the pump doesnt suck in air through th air tube, it would push water out of it. After some frustrating hours I had it sucking in air but then the bubble production is far insufficient to produce any skimate. I ended up attaching an air pump to th air intake hose and it works a lot better.

Also when I tried contacting the maker of the sapphire skimmer I recieved no response, I tried contacting with the e-mail provided on the website as wll as on a fourm he frequents and no such luck.

I don't know if I just recieved a defected product or if I set it up all wrong or if they are all useless but I know some have success with them and some don't.

Well as chutsk10 said its junk
Some people like them some don't.
I don't.

PS: I have recently hooked up an air pump to my Saphire Aquatics skimmer and it now works very well. Althoguht not the original design, it does work.
