Best Skimmer for standard 29g Bio-Cube

I know there are a couple options out there, but I am thinking about the Tunze 9002. I am just going off of the name and because that is what Mediabaskets.com shows as I have no experience with these or any others.
I really am not looking to make any mods at this point, just get the basic setup up and running proficiently.
Any thoughts on this?

Also looking at Mediabaskets.com, would you slide in a Media Basket for Chemi-Pure and Purigen or would you use their Fuge Basket?
Any ideas would help a lot!
Thanks
 
I had good success on a 34g solana with a tunze 9002 and mediabaskets rack holding chemipure elite, purigen, and filter floss. I think the bags are easier than a fuge, but don't add the benefits to your pod population.

That said, on my pico i was running chemipure and purigen again, and switched to a fuge and within 3 days i had red slime algae growing on corals. I let it go for a week or two, but when my corals started receding i went back to the bags and it cleared up again in 3 days and everything was happy again.

It's tough to beat the simplicity of the bags on a smaller tank. On my new 75g, i actually opted not to do a fuge again, and filled the fuge section in my sump with a frag rack. Instead, i am running biopellets and have a reactor for carbon/gfo/chemipure or whatever i need ready to go as well. So far so good.

Since I inherited Joe's solana I also used the tunze 9002 skimmer and media rack and I must say that I love them both. I ran purigen/fuge/chemipure elite in mine in that order. I ran the fuge using the jbj nano glo light and it worked quite well. Joe is right there arent many things in this hobby easier than pulling that media rack and replacing those 2 bags to help ensure a successful tank.
