Well, after many years of having a 65 g tank and leaving the hobby for a bit I decided to get a 32 g biocube knowing all too well that a smaller tank is a nightmare compared to a large tank. Well, here is my nightmare, I crashed my 32 a few months back and all was going fairly well after the crash and now it seems I am having a skimmer issue since no water seems to be going into sump area and into tank. If there is it is very little. I saw there were other skimmers being used besides the
biocube one, unfortunately I didn't write it down and cancer brain takes over so here I sit, dazed and confused! Yes, I know like Led Zeppelin. oops telling my age, arent I?
OK, I also made a REAL STUPID move knowing all too well when I did it. You know that nasty weed called Caulerpa (probably didn't spell it right), but anyway I'm dealing with that also but my main problem here is what are you guys doing in the center area of your 32 biocube? I had it all set up (like the business Fishy business has theirs- see on youtube) and everything was going nicely for a few years and then I guess I was entirely too exhausted to change things out the way I should have been doing and just kinda cut corners now I want to change things that will make it easier for me to do.
Please remember I don't need anything that requires a lot of attention, actually a lot of memory as radiation treatments have taken most of that. I saw that someone had put a skimmer in the center (i think) and also put in chaeto. and bio cube bricks, and perhaps some sand and a light. (basically, a fuge) Ok, I just need some simple method and simple help and still want to know what the other skimmer was? When I say simple, I mean I need instructional help. Again, Im sorry for that, Im not stupid I just have the health issues that cause problems. Thanks for any help you can give.
I have questions about that,
1. where was the light attached or placed
2. How was the water being pulled into the fuge part if the skimmer was in the middle where there is no entry slots for water to be pulled from)
3. What media was being used if any
I know some of these ques
