LUV I NEED HELP........The filter is full...,.,.priming I think......and then nthing??????????
Are we missing something

 

[luvmyreef]

Hey, it should prime all the air out for two minutes and then run normally. Check to make sure all hoses are tight, and that the connection to the intake and output are under water. Oh yeah...............TOLD YOU IT WAS BIG LOLOLOL!!!!!

 

[meowzer]

NVM....We got it....LOL.....It doesn't seem as powerful as I thought it would be though, I was expecting stuff to blow all over
IT SURE HOLDS A LOT MORE THEN 2 gallons though

 

[luvmyreef]

Yep. It holds alot. more like 5g. It is very quiet, and the flow is calmer imo since it is seperated. Fish seem to like it. I have it blowing in different directions opposite of my mag7.

 

[meowzer]

Well I really only had one option for placement......BUT I do have th nozzles adjusted in different ways
SO FAR.....I think I still hear a little air......IDK.....
we shall see I guess......I should get my additional cuc Thursday I hope

 

[luvmyreef]

Yeah, your mp40's should help your flow, but this thing is a filtering beast lol., It will stop and purge every 24hrs. It purged a decent amt the second time for me, so don't get scared when it does. Other than that, it is very quiet.

 

[meowzer]

Well I had to move the other MP40 back across where it was originally.....
My sailfin is really mad.....the intake is BIG and in the sailfins fave spot

 

[luvmyreef]

Aw. It will work out. But, if it doesn't help you, you can always return it....

 

[meowzer]

AHHHHHH....Does adding purigen make your skimmer go crazy???????????

 

[meowzer]

HEYYYYYY WHERE IS EVERYONE??? I need to know about this

 

[al&burke]

Never affected my skimmer but then again I haven't used any of that stuff since the algae scrubber was installed

 

[meowzer]

WELL me skimmer is going nuts.....I have turned it down quite a bit, and now I am worried.....LOL...

 

[snakeblitz33]

Is it going nuts getting stuff OUT of the tank, or is it just clear? What's the consistency and color?
