Hey guys, I’m curious if anyone knows when the Fiji cube 40 gallon breeder AIO filter box inserts will be going to be back in stock? Or if Fiji cube is even still producing them. They say out of stock everywhere I look.
-thanks
Hey guys, I am new to the saltwater world. I currently have 2 freshwater tanks and want to build a beautiful reef tank out of a 40 gallon breeder. I am building this tank on a budget and do not want to break the bank. I am currently interested in the Fiji cube 40 gallon insert but they are sold...
Emergency Here
In the midst of a water change and equipment cleaning (wavemaker, heater and filter) My HOB filter just died on me. It was working while I was cleaning, now I go to plug it in and nothing. Not even a sound is coming from the intake propellers. It just died on me!
What steps...
Hi all, looking for recommendations on what other media to put in my AIO back filter chamber(s).
Right now its just filter floss in chamber one, and seachem matrix in chamber 2. I have extra amounts of matrix (bio media) to compensate the “small” amount of rock i have in display.
i have lots of...
Have you ever used a power filter? Man this thing is a game changer! It was basically snowing in my display and 24 hours later it was so clean! Then moved it to the sump and it cleaned it all up for me. This thing is legit! I know this is old school so I didn’t create the idea, I just made some...
What would I have to change to use a sump instead of a Fluval fx6 and Fluval 407? Display tank is 125 gallons, I want the sump tank to be 55 gallons. Any advice on setting up a divider/baffle free sump tank? Can I successfully set up a sump for less than what a Fluval fx6 costs if I already have...
I recently picked up a 125 however the previous plumping had to be cut in order to move the tank. There are 8 overall holes drilled into the back of the tank. Looking for any suggestions, general tips, or designs since I plan on redoing it all! My plan is to have three holes in the middle...
Hello,
Is running :
- a macro algae reactor
- a becket skimmer
- a UV sterilzer
- roller mat
too much filtration ?
tank is a 75g and will have about 8 fish. With rock and sand and some bio media in the sump.
Anybody want to save me some research time and tell me if any of this old filtration system is worth keeping?
The heater module looks neat but I'd have to be able to replace the heater element. I believe the module next to it is a UV filter and I was told the bulb was burned out. I'm guessing...

I have an almost full box (1/2 cubic foot) of MarinePure Ceramic Biomedia 2” Cubes. I took maybe 12 cubes out of the box for my 25 gallon.
Box is $75.99 new.
Asking $40 plus shipping.
We have been running our 55 gallon reef tank with two separate filters each designed for 55 gallons. Both are marine land filters. Is this ok to use? If not what, other than a sump (space issue) can we use? Would a protien skimmer work all alone?
Hello,
I have been reading some negative reviews on the current trickle down carbon pad and bio ball system that I am running. I know this isn't an ideal sump setup, but it's the only one I can fit underneath my corner tank. I'm just looking to get the absolute most out of this space. So I was...

Hey guys new to the hobby. I just set up my Reef Octopus classic 1000 HOB on my 40 gallon breeder. I was curious if I am doing something wrong or if it is normal for the skimmer to not always bubble over into the trap. It started out foaming over big time those slowed down and is barely foaming...
While getting my Biocube 32 together and ready I had a couple questions on current and future upgrades of equipment.
1. lighting: I was looking at Steve’s LED upgrade. Is this something I could add in later? I’d like to start cycling the aquarium soon and not sure if I want to wait till I can...
Hi everyone,
Do I need ceramic rings when I have lots of live rock and crushed coral sand?
I have so many bio rings in the pump compartment of my JBJ 45 AIO. I had to use a mesh laundry bag to put it in so I can remove it to get to the pumps. I am used to having a freshwater aquarium which...
Hello all,
I am looking into upgrading the stock filtration on my Fluval Evo 13.5. I have been running the stock system for around 1.5 years and I am not seeing the kind of results I would like to. I believe there are too many nutrients building up in the stock sponge. Here is the diagram of...
These come with the Fiji Cube AIO kit, which costs 3x what I paid for the internal pump/medium box I have, minus a hole I’m drilling for the pump hose and these clamps (also separate magnets apparently).
I have no idea what this exactly is aside from “acrylic hang clamps” that is noted in the...
I realize a few other posts mention this topic but the one i saw had 1 basic reply saying “cant hurt” so I’m posting a more in-depth look at it and asking for input.
Hello everyone. This is my first tank and it is finally cycled :). Before putting fish in there i would like to address my filter...
Hello All!
I am posting this thread to provoke discussion about the Innovative Marine NUVO Fusion 20 (and other desktop models) filtration, setup, hacks and upgrades. I will begin the discussion by presenting my filtration setup and hopefully you guys can give me pointers and discuss your own...
Hi All,
Still fiddling with what I want my filtration system to be like on my first reef tank (20g High). Right now I am running an Aquaclear 70 HOB that I modded into a refugium but I'm not wild about it. Cheato inevitably gets into the DT, I'm not really doing anything for protein skimming...
Selling cpr aquafuge 2 medium hang on refugium with pump. Sells for $250 on marine depot. Looking for $150 pickup, $200 to ship.
Pictures upon request.
Thanks
What is everyone’s favorite order of sump components? I know there are different ways of setting things up and I’d like to hear some opinions. 40 gallon planted reef with mangrove island. 40 gallon oblong sump. The sump has a piece of plexiglass down the middle longways and openings at each end...
