Nano Max Skimmer chamber basket or idea?

[revhtree Verified Admin]

I’m not going to use the skimmer on my max nano but instead wanted to fill that skimmer chamber with LR rubble. I would like to be able to remove all that rubble easily and wondered if there was a basket or something that fits that chamber?

I'd just use a mesh bag like you would for carbon or GFO. It's a lot cheaper and would be easier to fill with more rock.

You pay shipping and it's a deal.

In seriousness, have you thought about using that giant tank to culture some dry rock? Fill it up with marcos Reef Saver and add a few rocks from somewhere like WWC and let it run for a year. You could then sale it during your Toy drive. Might be a way to increase the donations for it and help fellow reefers start new tanks with clean established rock. Win win for everybody.

I just setup my max nano like you and the skimmer is so loud I'm going to remove it. Water changes will do me just as good. I have carbon/chemi pure/matrix that I want to dump in there. I have a lot of spare InTank baskets and I will see if any fit.

I made a quick scape and this was the FIRST one (had a few Gentleman Jacks). I might go with it.

Looking at this one for my Red Sea max I agree that skimmer is just to dang loud. TUNZE DOC 9001 DC NANO PROTEIN SKIMMER
