Review on 🧱 Red Sea Max 130 and Red Sea Max 130D Media Basket by inTank by Wesley Sergio

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Like many others, I have decided to give up the stick skimmer.

Like many others I have decided to replace the standard skimmer on my Red Sea 130D in favor of the Tunze skimmer with this media basket. I don't regret this decision. The basket itself is beautifully made, I think if it had acrylic on three sides instead of two it would get 5 stars from me instead of four, my first impression was a bit flimsy. Well after putting it in my 130D I was very impressed with how well it fits - it only works one way and I would like to know if any instructions were included. The basket freed up a lot of space in my sump which I filled with Cermedia Bio Beads in media bags, I couldn't do that with a standard skimmer in the pool. The Tunze 9001 skimmer fits PERFECTLY on a media rack and is very easy to maintain. Overall definitely worth the money for those with a 130D.

Pros
  • Keeps water clean by catching dirt from above. Accommodates a Tunze 9001 Protein Skimmer
Cons
  • Crumpled Pack
