Biocube 32+ skimmer+InTank

[Dennis McGrath]

So I 've got a BioCube 32 with the Oceanic skimmer for the BioCube, and a Intank media rack. Anyhow, trying to figure out how the water diverter works in conjunction with the skimmer? When hanging the skimmer on the right wall of chamber #1, how does the water diverter go on? Am I totally missing something?

I think @Nuclear is using what your discribing, maybe he can share what he done. I'm still using the stock basket so I won't be much help.

I don’t use a skimmer but this is how I have my InTank setup.

The Biocube skimmer probably will not work as intended when trying to use the media basket because they are designed to attach to the same spot as the water diverter.. you may be able to come up with another mounting option for your skimmer such as suction cups or magnets.

Yeah, I've mounted it with suction cups now. Even though the media basket comes with 2 diverters (one normal, one for use with the skimmer), neither will work for the regular mounting of the Biocube skimmer that I can see. Thanks.

The Biocube skimmers do work but only marginally the biggest benefit being gas exchange.. I use a over sized pump on mine with a valve to control air flow and can get decent performance but it takes constant fiddling
