Does anyone know if the Sapphire Nano-Skimmer that was designed for the BC14 and NC12 will fit into the rear of a 12 gal Aquapod? And if so, would that be worth spending $100 on? I believe the BC14 and NC12 have 3 chambers in the rear where the AP12 has 4.

Any thoughts?

I believe it does. You have to install it into the 3rd chamber of the Aquapod & put your return pump in the 2nd. Email them or nanotuners They are very good about getting back to you.

I was thinking more along the lines of putting it in the intake chamber 1 instead of the sponge, sending clean water to the refugium I'm setting up in 2 which overflows to 3 and then through to 4 with the return pump. That way any pod production would only have the pump to deal with instead of the skimmer as well.


just got a PM on nano-reef.com from someone with Sapphire saying that the chambers in the AP12 are too shallow, which doesn't make sense to me. The description of the skimmer says 2.25"x3"x9.5" with pump and highest cup setting. the 1 and 4 chambers of my AP12 are 3"x3.5"x12"deep. is it a waterlevel issue??

I would also like to know if there is on that will fit under the hood for the ap 12. I know everyone always says weekly water changes are the best way to go but I would like to have a skimmer in there too. I figure it definetly can't hurt.

I'm so excited! I just got back from my LFS and found out there is a brand new skimmer by aquaeuro USA that will fit under the hood in the 12 gallon aquapod! It's a venturi system. It just came out and I can't even find it online except on jbj s website advertised to go with with the 12 gallon nanocube. I'm gonna pick it up from him on Friday so I'll let everyone know how it goes!

Great, glad it fits. I went off your statement; "I'm so excited! I just got back from my LFS and found out there is a brand new skimmer by aquaeuro USA ". Anyway, yes, keep us informed on how well it works.
