LeCharlesMuhDickens Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 Chemipure blue and filterfloss Does it matter where the floss is located? Quote Link to comment
joines77 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Yes, you want the floss to catch all the paticules befor it runs through the rest of the media Quote Link to comment

joines77 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Ok cool, thanks. Are you running anything in chamber one where the factory panel filter was? I dont have a biocube i just chimed in because i do use intank media baskets Quote Link to comment
ChadO Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Ok cool, thanks. Are you running anything in chamber one where the factory panel filter was? If you've removed it, chamber one then becomes popular to hold a heater, the AquaticLife 115 skimmer, probes, etc. The water level there will be quite stable, so things that you have that need to have little chance of water fluctuation levels do well there.

Yep it is just a dead chamber in my tank. Pods use it to stay safe and breed lol Quote Link to comment
Pancetta Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 From top to bottom I have Filter floss, Chemipure Elite and Seachem Purigen. I change the filter floss once a week and the Chemipure and Purigen every two months. 1 Quote Link to comment
Air_Cooled_Nut Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I have the same as Pancetta. One additional filter I have, under my Filter Floss, is a nitrate remover filter pad. I can't get my nitrate below 20ppm without it. Ammonia and nitrite are zero. Quote Link to comment
OnePsychLynne Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I'm sorry y'all. This is new to me because I just assumed I would use what came with my Nano Cube. If I remove the filter sponges, do I put an in tank filter in front of the intake grooves? 1 Quote Link to comment

You will want to DIY or pick up a media rack from steve, you cant go wrong with his product! plus it comes with tasty swedish fish, who doesn't love candy?! Quote Link to comment
Pancetta Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I think most Biocube owners put their heater in the 1st chamber (one with the intake grooves). 2nd chamber is where the media basket goes. 3rd chamber has a filter sponge and the return pump. This how my tank is retrofitted. If you use a media basket in the above setup then you will need to trim the top of the black plastic divider between the 1st and second chamber. This will allow beer water flow to the top of the media basket. I recall reading about this on the Intank site or in the instructions when I bought my media basket? Not sure which. Steve is a good guy and will respond quickly to questions via e-mail. Quote Link to comment

Txplicit Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Old post, but new media is now available. Intank media tower Floss, carbon, chemipure elite (has purigen in it now). Coupled with intank refugium of broken LR and chaeto in chamber 2. Chamber 1 I have the hydor slim skim nano, cobalt neo-therm slim, ato sensor, and return pump in chamber 3. Quote Link to comment
