General Nano cube questions we have had from customers
____________________________________________________________________________
I have a 24 gallon nano cube. I need to replace the sponge. I am using the tank with freshwater fish and there are curently two sponge filter in each of the two chambers. I was looking at my book and do I need bio-balls, carbon bag and ceramic ring bag or is that for salwater fish?
you should replace carbon every 3-4 weeks the ceramic seldom needs to be replaced 1-2x a year @ most
carbon leaches toxins back in the water after 3 or 4 weeks
ceramic rings help good bactiera breed
my tank does not have the bio-balls, carbon bag or ceramic ring bag. Do I need these items for freshwater fish?
ohhhh
we do not have bio balls listed as people do not replace them but if they are gone thats a problem
My tank has filter spnges in each of the two chambers. The tank did not come with bio-balls.
They would be all the way @ the bottom and black
hard to see
if not then send us an email AFTER making your puchase and we can send a payment request for the bio balls sep
Chamber one has a sponge, chamber two has a sponge and chamver three has the submersible pump
What should i be ordering?
Nano cube Sponges and just the carbon and i will send a payment request afterward for the bioballs
Your 36 watt power compact aquarium bulbs to if you have not replaced them in the last 6 months

carbon bag
how many Nano cube sponges for my tank?
yes carbon every 3-4 weeks
3 sponges go in the unit
do not remove all @ once though
remove one one day another a few days later
another a few days later
rotate
is there a seperate item number for each sponge?
no just choose the correct size of tank as they are all now only cut per size of tank
what about the bio-balls?
i will send a payment request that you will need to click on and pay AFTER your initial order
to avoid any confusion or if you give me 10 minutes i can add that item to the website
should i plce my order now or can you do that over the phone?
it is the weekend we are closed i actually have live chat up really as i am working on a project and you got lucky i had it up!!
you can add item to web site. how often do i change the bio-balls?
should never have to
okay
I am putting it right under the carbon
okay
for now i will move it later just put it there for ease of you finding it you may have to refresh the page give me a moment for it to upload
do i need the ceramic ring bag for my aquarium?
yes
it is where more beneficial bacteria breeds
all is uploaded
how often do that need to be replaced?
how often does the ceramic ring bag need to be replaced?
if it getts all gooked up once a year
many times though it wont get yuck on it
how often should the bioballs be replaced?
NEVER
If they get yuck you can just soak them in hot water or peroxide
okay? This is all new to me and I am still learning. When I receive everything is there a certain order I should be putting things in?
Bottom bio balls above that the ceramic rings then spongs
When you get it shoot us an email via the website and one of the staff can send you a link to the pdf file that has all info on that
I have my book in front of me and is shows the ceramic rings on the bottom, then the carbon bag and then on top the bio-balls
where do the carbon go?
Typically we suggest bio balls on bottom due to 1 in the nano cube they never get repaced and 2 becuase of that you want then the furthest down to make sure no debris gets on them
In chamber one will be just a sponge?
The replacement carbon for the nano cubes should ba placed under the sponges
