Biocube 29ga water level problems

bandos507 · Mar 4, 2016

Hi guys,

Need help... About a week ago I removed the bio balls and put a media basket in the 2nd chamber. Ever since, my water level in the 3rd chamber keeps going down while my tank water level is perfectly fine. Not sure what's going on? How do I add water if my level in the main tank is plenty high as it is??? Appreciate any help!!

You restricted the flow
Return pump moved water faster then return chamber

Mine did the same thing when I added media and fuge baskets. I just added water to the chamber until it was the level I wanted. It wont overflow your tank. My water level is above the max line I actually have my water level high enough to cover the Purigen on the 2nd rack. You can see the water level is above the max line in this pic

Agree with both ^ . I have my water level just under the top plate on my media basket....so it's well over the "max" line...this line is meant to gauge water running through the original bio-balls.
