A few things I would suggest, first check the tube itself. See if it has a hole in it or is cut. Second, check to see if the tube is secure at the pump. Also, is the water level in that chamber high enough? Is it covering the pump? If not the pump will suck air and that will cause the...

Check the hose itself, maybe it has a hole/cut in it. If not, replace it. if the problem persists after that I would suggest swapping out the pump. I used a maxijet 1200 in my cube without any problems. I did, however have the same thing happen with the hose coming off. Oh my God!!! Good luck!

White specs are pods. Very good for the tank!

I upgraded to a maxijet 1200 when I had my 24 NC up and running. I worked very well, just be sure to clean it on a regular basis. Also I agree with peef, without the surface skimmer a thin film-o-gunk will collect on the surface of the water. You do need to be careful, however as all of the...

Tank looks really nice, the spray bar is a great idea. My only suggestion would be to paint it black so it doesn't stick out so much. Beautiful tank!!!! Bob
