Ok I just compressed the ring a bit and and slid it down in the sump I have the bottom of white ring to the water line. It should be good now. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated as well.
I have another question...in the center chamber I have my live rock with my pod population. In between the second and third chamber I have a corse black filter pad. Will the pods make it trough that pad or should I move the live rock into the third chamber?
