She looks good, solid. Kudos!

 

Thanks!

 

Really nice looking tank.

Great write up profile.

I am a huge fan of the Tunze 9002.

 

Thanks!

I really like it a lot too, but every two weeks the bottom falls off and it pours micro bubbles into my tank.

Humm never had that problem. Usually had issues with not being able to get the bottom open to clean the pump.

Mine was always very quite and did a bang up job skim mate wise. Perfect for nanos IME.

It will be interesting to see how the tank does with the LED and how you like them.

I would get another biocube in a heart beat.

 

Nice I'll have to look into the tunze.

 

I think its the pump cord pulling causing the pump to push the bottom plate off. The skimmer is amazing, I just with the power cord was longer.

I use to hate my skimmer until I got my JBJ ATO, this skimmer is useless without the same water level at all times.

 

Great looking tank. Nice job on all the mods.

 

Thanks, I really enjoy making things better and still keep the original look of the tank. On the outside it looks like your everyday BioCube but inside its pure magic. ;-)
