Skimmer ???

[Blindzy]

Hello all,
I'm getting ready to move everything over from my Biocube 29 to a new Biocube 32. I bought the 29 used and it has several scratches on it and I also had a monstrous bubble algae breakout that has caused me to buy all new rock and start over (my fault I should have acted sooner to stop it). I know a lot of people say just to do you water changes and don't worry about a skimmer, but I want to possibly add another layer to the filtration. My question is who all is running skimmers? Specifically in the Biocube. What are you running? and how is it working out for you? Big one for me is how quiet is it? This tank is in our living room so I need it to be quiet. Also I have a decent bioload with smallish 5 fish in this tank.
Thanks all!!

Ice cap k1-50 or k2-50 would be great choices

Do you know if those fit in the back chamber of the Biocube 32?

I've been waiting for the DC version of the tunze 9001 to come back in stock. Seen alot of people run these in the back.

I know the eshopps nano has a small footprint and should fit in the first chamber.

Also the ice cap k1 as mentioned

I just want to use it at night to maybe help with PH.

I have the 29 I'm setting up this weekend with my mom.

Yes- about 2.5-3" round
