what is the hydro, any pics of this?

also is a heater necessary?

 

[Trip 22]

It attaches to the pump outflow and rotates...to move the water around.....I think a heater is necessary....just my opinion

I've got a heater that will fit in the center compartment but not the first one, it's fully submersable. Should I put it in there or find a smaller heater?

Is a maxijet 1200 too much flow for a 14 gallon tank?

 

[Trip 22]

I have it in the first because it's the only chamber that has the water filled up. I bought a Maxijet 900 and I can't figure out how to get the dang thing in....any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

if you took the bioballs out and are using liverock rubble in chamber 2, why not fill all 3 chambers up close to the top? With this small of tank the more water volume the better. Also consider this, with your rock and sand you probably only have around 10g of water even though its a 14. JMO, hth

on the maxijet, you should be able to just disconnect the hose on the back of the wall and pull the stock pump out. The stock pump has little suction cups so you might have to tug a little. Once you have it out just replace the stock pump with the maxijet and then set it back down in the chamber and reconnect the hose and elbow to the outflow on the wall. Simple as that.
