There is a small (about pencil eraser sized) hole between two of the chambers of my refugium. I bought it used, and was cleaning it this weekend. Is this something I need to fix? Or once the water levels on either sides of the chambers are equal, it doesn't matter? I appreciate the help!

 
I believe you have a number of options, but what immediately comes to mind, because I have a supply of different sizes, is a nylon but and bolt.

other options...a dab of silicone; super glue a piece of acrylic....

correct unless the chamber its leaking into will hold something fine like sand which u dont want disturbed then I'd plug it otherwise shouldn't be problem OR unless all the water draining from leaking section will flood the sump. I'd test it for power outage and check water level.
