    Some new Nanotanks come with a simple plastic skimmer that sits in front of the main inlet to the filter system. Dont know what could be the problem otherwise. Sorry!! :???: Tony

    PROBLEM WITH FILTER CARTRIDGE FOR BIOCUBE ON NEW YEARS EVE!

    Do you have a skimmer in front of the inlet to the sponge filters? Some times when my water levels get low, this really slows the water flow into the chambers and if the pump is strong, it takes my water levels low in the chamber. Just my two cents. I was thinking the same as Skip otherwise...

    Water Supply for Changes

    So i go the tap water route....can the levels change on me or do i have to check them all the time. what RO system is good and what can these cost? is a 12 g and a recently set up 24 g too small to consider a system like that? or is distilled just the easy way to keep things simple? Tony
