luxo1 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Hey, I did something !! Popped out the false bottom in chamber one, and put my heater in there. No more ugly heater in the back!! Link to comment
brotheresau Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I am noticing that my biocube is running between 80 and 83 degrees, it is texas but my apt is usual around 78. Am I going to have to invest in a chiller, how do you install one in the biocube? Do you have to add an additional pump in the third chamber? Also, if I did the nanotuners 1.44, has anyone really noticed their tank temp dropping 1-2 degrees as reported on their website? Would this help me out enough to avoid the chiller? Thanks Link to comment
TEALCOBRA Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 With your ambient temps running 78 degrees your tank is going to hit those 80's on a regular basis. Those are warm, but not unlivable IMO. I try to keep tanks from having large swings more than anything. I didnt notice a real large temp drop with the upgraded lighting.... But that could just be my experience. Link to comment
spanko Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Did the upgrade did not notice a temp drop. Link to comment
fsu1dolfan Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Sorry for the bump from the dead but this was an amazingly informative thread and just wanted to say thanks!!! Link to comment
wdytat Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I agree. Great thread. Is everyone that has upgraded to the 6HF using the larger Eheim tubing as TEALCOBRA shows here? I purchased the Rio 6HF, but decided to try the existing tubing and elbow. It's a tight fit, but it will fit on there. However, I'm getting less water flow than the stock pump. I'm assuming it's because of all the pressure the smaller tubing is causing, but not positive about that. Is anyone else using the 6HF with stock plumbing and getting more flow? If I have a bad pump, I want to exchange it ASAP. If it's the tubing, I'll just grab some and see. Thanks! Link to comment
wdytat Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Guess that indicates that I have a bad pump. Link to comment
TUDIZZLE Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 just ditching the 90 degreee angle is going to give you way more flow. Also the smaller tubing will create back pressure restricting flow. Link to comment

jsindorf Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Great info on the BC29. I am setting mine up now using most of this information. (the modding of the stock filter seems like a waste of time, I just threw it out) thanks again everyone! Link to comment
