I put a Sapphire Aquatics Skimmer in my 2nd chamber. It should be standard equipment on these tanks. The skimmer fits great and the water parameters are a lot better. Just my 2 cents.

29 BioCube here. The BioCube does have a few minor issues. One, the back wall is a little short. Keep an eye on jumpers or when putting hand in tank could wash fish over the back. Two, the carbon cartage placement is bad. It causes water level problems in my tank. I still use it but NOT in the...

Originally Posted by REEFER545 The cyano should stop in a couple weeks. A weekly water change is optimal adn probably more than most people with their own tanks. Commendable. The sand never stays as white as when it was in the bag, and even some bags start to turn green, brown, adn purple...

I would think that the area in the picture might be in a low flow area. And yes, it looks like cyano. I had the same problem and found out it was when I was out of town and my son spilled a little to much food in. Well it sat in the coroner with little to no flow and good lighting and me NOT...

Wow! Like nice to me.

Originally Posted by Kilhullen I am a little confused, and this my inexperience talking and not understanding the symantics. Did you fully cycle your tank 4 weeks ago, or are you still in the process of cycling your tank? That is kind of what I was wondering. I pretty new to this also, well...

Originally Posted by Dawman Could also have a low load at the time being . Could be. I know after a water change it takes awhile for my skimmer to start skimming. Once I feed and kick it back on tho....hear ya go skimming like a big dog. LOL

Originally Posted by Sly I find it curious that as soon as crushed coral was mentioned, people started looking at it as the culprit.

I was trying to get my wife to drink skimmate for 10 dollars...I got punched.

i have had a Clown jump and also a Six Line.

Unplug it and plug it back in. Pump might be running backwards. I didn't think it was possible, but it is. Have you ever seen a skimmer column pulsing up and down? Pump running backwards. Also, new skimmer? Might just need to be broken in.

Also be very careful on how much you are feeding. Overfeeding caused Cyano in my 29 BioCube.

Man! they do look nice. I'll be watching this one.

Did you use a sponge from a local shop like Walmart? The reason I ask is that I noticed that most cleaning sponges and pads will say "Not for Aquarium use". I just hope you didn't use it inside. Any way, I would try jewelers Rouge (Spelling) They use that for removing scratches from glass and...
