Do you have a filter Nissan or is your water just running into your refugium?
Also, the water level in the second area of my biocube only fills about half way full because that is the way it is designed. How do you keep if full like in your pics?
Try to adjust your skimmer piece that came with the nano. Its the grill outside the intake. If you push it down slightly you will increase your flow.

what does that cheato stuf do and should i get a cleaner clam read they lower nitrite
no. the chaeto also lowers the nitrates. trites are bad but not as much as the trates.
Chaetomorpha Algae, also known as Spaghetti Algae or Green Hair Algae, is an excellent macro algae for refugiums. Each cell grows end to end, creating long, stiff strands. It grows in filamentous clumps, resembling a ball of fishing line. This algae is fast growing and is not palatable to many herbivorous species.
Chaetomorpha Algae removes both phosphates and nitrates from the water. To increase the amount of nutrients this algae exports, use moderate to high lighting and keep it in an area of high water flow. It should ideally be tumbled in an algae filter.
