I did my water change tonight and I used a water pump to move water out of the tank and then to move the clean saltwater into the tank. Well, the instructions on the vivosun are non-existent, so I winged it. I turned the pump off after I finished moving water into the tank, I had no idea the water would run backwards continually back into the bucket, which I didn’t notice until my feet were wet. Ugh! Any who, I cleaned all that up and glad I put several towels down in advance.
I have a biocube 32 and after everything was running again I noticed the water level in the chamber with the pump in the back was at minimum. Which I’m still confused why, because the glass part of the tank is full and I have no idea how to I understand the twilight zone of this tank. Any who, I took water from the tank and poured it into the 3rd chamber and turned the pump back on. When I do that, the water immediately runs out of the 3rd chamber and the pump tries to run without water but I turn it off immediately. When I turn the pump off, the chamber fills back up. I’m really not sure what I did wrong because I didn’t make any adjustments to the chambers. My nerves are shot.
Somebody please help! I can’t turn the pump back on if the water is going to continually run below the pump level. I’m pretty sure it’s something super simple I’m missing here but it’s completely going over my head.
This forum really needs a crying emoticon.
