So I started that new tank.
I was thinking of getting the BakPak2R+ (new one made for reef tanks???) instead of the Aqua C. BakPak gets good reviews and it runs slightly less, though not much. Have you been happy with yours bubbles aside? New model write-up:
CPR is proud to introduce the hang-on skimmer that all reefkeepers have been waiting for, the Cyclone BAK-PAK™ 2R+. This new skimmer is designed for use on reef tanks where biological filtration is not necessary, but still incorporates all of the other features that have made the BAK-PAK™ line of skimmers so popular.
New "Tri Chamber" design of the BAK-PAK™ 2R+ takes the place of the biological section, and when combined with a new and improved outlet design, provides an effective way to reduce bubbles caused by system imbalances.
Incorporates CPR's proven high performance rejuvenation protein skimmer.
No need to purchase an overflow or return pump, the BAK-PAK™ 2R+ simply hangs on the back of your tank.
Use on tanks utilizing the Berlin or Jaubert Method, where supplemental biological filtration is not desired.
Easy to setup, easy to use, easy to clean.
For tanks up to 60 gallons. For larger tanks use an additional BAK-PAK™.
The BAK-PAK™ 2R+ can also make use of the accessories available for the BAK-PAK™ 2 (with the exception of the BPBT).
For non-reef tanks, please check out our BAK-PAK™ 2.
CYHO2R Body Size: 7.5" wide, 3" deep, 17" height
I also painted the new tank blue for a change, I like the bright color it adds to the tank. Any more thoughts Waa?? The bow front does make for a nice looking tank. My only suggestion would be to go up to the 26 gallon or what ever it is if you have the space and the budget.
