Once one gets the tank set, don't mess with anything :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes: This is coming from someone that was alway looking for the new thing. Once I stop changing, my tank ran pretty good without issue.

is that a bio cube protein skimmer dnd if so how did you get it to fit into the intake chamber? I have the fluval evo and in the first chamber, there is a big piece of plaster thing sticks up in the bottom and it makes it hard to place it into the chamber.
