polarbear Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I have a 29 gallon biocube that I am using a protien skimmer in it right now so I took out the filter. I know that running carbon helps with making the water clear so I want to use it. How and where would I put it in the biocube? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that running carbon helps with making the water clear so I want to use it. How and where would I put it in the biocube? assuming you have the skimmer in chamber 1 and have tossed the bio balls? I prefer to turn chamber 2 into a fuge but that is me...you can throw the carbon there (in a bag on the drip tray or under some eggcrate) and run some phosban (in a bag under some eggcrate) or in chamber 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisfowler99 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 The water doesn't need to flow through the carbon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Capt. Obvious Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 The water doesn't need to flow through the carbon? It does....that is why chamber 2 is best there is a drip tray you can place it on..in chamber 3 you can make a "wall" out of it see the "flow" diagram here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisfowler99 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Ok...I guess I just can't tell the water path in your first picture. Was thinking it was sitting at the bottom of the refuguim that was only being fed from the top... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
