read the top.

 

[troy989]

i have skimmer will they still fit in first? if they do ill put them in there but i dont want to put in third because i want keep the water level in ther in between min and max

 

[nissan577]

by you having the media in the third nothings gonna make the water raise or go down. the water goes up or down as the water evaporates. so dont worry about it.

 

[troy989]

it will go up bcause displacement

 

[troy989]

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.
Please elaborate.

On the JBJ there is a plastic grill that adheres (due to intake flow) over the intake. (at least on mine). I adjust mine; due to upgraded return pump, to keep flow levels even. Will provide pics if you are not sure. Some nanos have different intake system (multiple) mine just has the one plas a small hole about halfway down. This piece works like a little skimmer beofre water enters the first chamber. Hope this helps!

I also have chaeto in mine. Somewhere in my diary you can see the conversion process I did using a JBJ nano glo light in my middle chamber. https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/357977/socalnano24s-tank-diary/40

Nice thread nissan,
Another thing, maybe I missed it. Is on the Bio Cube, remove the bottom floor grate in the first chamber. This will allow for a heater and or in Spankos case a heater and a skimmer. I was amazed at the crap I found in mine after I removed it.

Put a CPR refugium HOB on mine and added a Tunze 9002, it been running for six months. The skimmer is good and the extra H20 added to you tank about 6 gals is good for your tank. Mine has cheato, sand and rock. I also bought the light that goes with that refugium medium size. Run a 1/15 chiller as well and have made no structure modifications to my tank.
