I just added this onto the back of my JBJ 28g nanocube mixed reef tank. First, I’m pleased. The skimmer works great, but needs lots of attention at first. Tons of skimmate, a bit wet at the moment though. Had to make a modification to the spillway to allow it to fit, and it just barely fits. Prior to this filter addition, pH was a constant struggle that I had found most easily manageable by using the BRS CO2 scrubber. Well it seems that now that I have all of this new gas exchange going on, I may not need the scrubber during the day. It tested at 8.6 during the peak of the light cycle. Now I just need to get a timed solenoid to turn the scrubber on in the evenings and maybe my pH balances out near 8.3 for the day. Anyway, lots of pros, a few cons. If it’ll fit, get it.
I can say it certainly does put in work, the tank looks clear, the protein skimmer works amazingly well, it’s very quiet, and I can utilize the open space inside of it for added filtration and as a refugium because it has glass backing. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a HOB filter alternative instead of a sump system.
