3 direction.  So I guess I will have to trim the back like you did. i'll see if my drip tray fits over the media basket before taking a box cutter to the back]]> Fri, 12 Mar 2010 00:54:00 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39189&PID=347663&title=biocube-14-air-vortex#347663 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39189&PID=347660&title=biocube-14-air-vortex#347660 Author: Mad Dawg

Is it too big in the 3 direction or the 6 direction?  I had to trim the lip along the back in order to get the rack to drop straight down.]]> Fri, 12 Mar 2010 00:45:45 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39189&PID=347660&title=biocube-14-air-vortex#347660 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39189&PID=347656&title=biocube-14-air-vortex#347656 Author: Ahanix

Could be, I think we have different revisions of the biocube 14.  When I received my replacement hood the ballast cables were a lot shorter than mine, and the feeding lid opened a lot easier. I think I might have to either do some cutting to the back rim, because I think the chambers are the same, but I might have a lip on the back of my tank that you dont.]]> Fri, 12 Mar 2010 00:41:47 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39189&PID=347656&title=biocube-14-air-vortex#347656 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39189&PID=347654&title=biocube-14-air-vortex#347654 Author: Mad Dawg

I wonder how you built yours.  I still have a little wiggle room side-to-side with the 3x6 configuration.  Or maybe my tank's built differently than yours.]]> Fri, 12 Mar 2010 00:38:43 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39189&PID=347654&title=biocube-14-air-vortex#347654 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39189&PID=347642&title=biocube-14-air-vortex#347642 Author: Ahanix

Not sure yet, basically I put the whole thing together, it looked pretty good. obviously not as good as yours, but I guess atleast it was functional, haha I tried to put it in, and it ended up being too big using the 3x6 crate pattern, so I think I need to go a little bit smaller.  maybe cut half of a square off or something.  I'll have to take it apart and measure it tomorrow to see exactly how much smaller it needs to be.

Are air bubbles possibly getting to the bottom of the center chamber and then getting sucked up by your pump?  If that's the case, your media rack should solve that.]]> Thu, 11 Mar 2010 22:49:55 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39189&PID=347618&title=biocube-14-air-vortex#347618 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39189&PID=347617&title=biocube-14-air-vortex#347617 Author: Ahanix

So the only thing it could be now is the tubing, I think i'm going to go to home depot and get some flex tubing and get rid of the plastic elbow, also going to get some of the white sealant tape so I make sure everything is tight.   I put the pump in a bucket, shook all the bubbles out and it seemed to be working just fine, put it back in the tank and had problems again.  Even had problems with the stock pump blowing bubbles]]> Thu, 11 Mar 2010 22:47:44 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39189&PID=347617&title=biocube-14-air-vortex#347617 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39189&PID=347519&title=biocube-14-air-vortex#347519 Author: Aquaristnewbie

That is very odd.  It has to be getting air from somewhere.  Even if there was trapped air it would not constantly spit out bubbles.  Just until it ran out of the trapped bubble.  Good luck!  I have no idea where it could be coming from.]]> Thu, 11 Mar 2010 12:23:06 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39189&PID=347519&title=biocube-14-air-vortex#347519
