Hi, you may have a bad return pump. My pump is quite string even when a dual RFG is attached to it.
Hello, our test shows about 160PAR on center 2" below water. Sides about 80PAR. Bottom center: 70-80PAR and bottom side, around 40PAR. There's also a few people who tested theirs, and claimed to be more PAR than our findings. @Bulk Reef Supply did a test also.
Hello, I feel i have talked to you regarding your issue already. But if not, in this case we will gladly replace your pump for at no charge. We have been testing each pump that we have been sending out to help make this issue as rare as possible. Thank you so much for your support!
They are the same. I was confused too. The display area is 3.8 gallons and the total tank volume is 4.8 gallons. Beware the acrylic shelf slides under the sock area. In other words, you have to remove most everything in the middle chamber and slide the shelf to the left under the sock area. Mine is collecting dust.
I am not familiar with this skimmer. Sorry.
Just overnight this is the new level after the first photo I took.
So I see that your sock makes the water go into it and then to the second chamber. Mine fills up and water just churns at the top. Did you wash your filter sock before?I wonder if you have a bad filter sock that isn't porous and allowing the water to flow through. I set up my tank last Monday (2/13/23), and don't have any issues at all.
To save on some money I also plan to get a little drop in basket and just use filter floss to swap out instead of a big sock.
If your're going away on vacation, and you just set the tank up and are cycling...I would just pull out the filter sock if that fixes the problem...not really catching anything in it at the moment anywyere.
Here's the level in the back of my tank
Also did you turn the pump up to max that came with the tank or did you purchase a different pump?I wonder if you have a bad filter sock that isn't porous and allowing the water to flow through. I set up my tank last Monday (2/13/23), and don't have any issues at all.

I also have the collection cup from Kraken Reef that when I put it in with no filter floss it looks the same as what yours looks like with the sock in. I guess the sock is bad!I wonder if you have a bad filter sock that isn't porous and allowing the water to flow through. I set up my tank last Monday (2/13/23), and don't have any issues at all.

I would assume it's a bad sock that just isn't allowing for water to pass through it. Once you get fish in there, I'd throw some floss in there to catch any food/free floating debris (I'm going to do the same).I also have the collection cup from Kraken Reef that when I put it in with no filter floss it looks the same as what yours looks like with the sock in.
