I have a 12g JBJ Nanocube DX (LED & Stock everything)
What do you all keep in your back chambers? I currently have everything that came with the tank. I'm experiencing high Nitrate with Ammonia and Nitrite at zero zero. PH seems to run a little low at 7.8-8.0. I have live rock, live sand, two small fish, 3 snails and 5 hermits. Water changes do not seem to help be helping the nitrate problem.
I'm contemplating removing everything from the back chambers, sponge, Bio Balls, Ceramic Rings, all of it except the heater and return pump. Also can't seem to get the little skimmer thing that came with it to stay put, it always slides up creating low flow to the back chambers. I'm worried it might cause the pump chamber to run low. Is that okay or am I doing something wrong with my install?
