I had a InTank media basket on my 8g bio-cube. Personal experience was that the chaeto did nothing but rot, die and break apart. Yes I had everything with it. Was just a total pain.
Go with a bigger/better skimmer. I'm running the Reef Octopus BH-1000 on my 26g. Love it!
Did u have both the fuge and media basket? I just ordered the media basket and the tunze 9002.
