i had the same problem take out the drip plate and put the filter pad on bioballs with the soft part up i know becouse i called the people that made this they sad that some filter pads make a dam so only do that when the water level gets to high
I like it. It comes with the proper lighting for soft corals and it is big enough for a starter as well as a small reef tank. the only bad thing is the bioballs. Take them out and put some chaeto and live rock rubble in instead
DO NOT put tanks in that small of a tank, 55 gallon is minimum (70 gallon plus recommended) for tangs, and they need at least 4 feet of horizantal swim space.
if its the oceanic biocube skimmer i got one to and bubbles didnt come out of the wood,theres a little black rubber piece in that clear chamber in between the hose,i took it out so that it wouldnt stop the air from coming out and now it works good,mine is working very good for my 12 gallon.hope thats help.if you dont get it send me a message
I just purchased the same protein skimmer but for my 14 gallon oceanic biocube. I installed it following the instructions and for some reason I am not seeing any bubbles when I plub it in. There is air being blown through the hose just not coming out of the piece of wood. Does it take a couple of days for it to work its way threw the wood?
you could but yellow tangs are really pushing it i would have a yellowtailed tang and about 3 clown fish in there get the clowns small as they will acomidate there size to the tank you have dont add them at one either clowns then tangs k
What kind of rock filter and sand are you using for your fish tank? can rocks and sand can be good for the sea anemones and corals? can you tell me what kind of rock filters and sand can I put in my aqua clear 130 for the 20gallon fish tank? PLEASE SEND
i have a skimmer for a 14 galloin it says it fits in the back it does but it pushes the filter out or the way i think the back of the 14s are diff then the 30 with how the filter is set up
