    Hello! Im looking for a skimmer that will fit in the 1st or 2nd chamber of a biocube 29(preferably the 1st). So far I've found the aquaticlife 115 and the slim skim. Any opinions on a quality skimmer under 100$?

    Thanks.:)

    [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I just bought one for my new 29g bio-cube HQI. Fits perfectly. And, the canopy closes. It's about $17 over your price limit, however.

    [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I haven't got the tank running yet, so I can't comment on performance. However, almost everything I'm heard is positive. I'll be able to comment first-hand in a few weeks.[/FONT]

    Thank you! I think I'm going to go with the slim skim. I'll look into the CPR too.
