Should I have a bag of carbon in my chamber? I don't have anything in the middle chamber of my biocube. The water only gets about 3" high and about the same in thd 3rd chamber where the pump is. I have my heater in chamber 1 (the inflow). I have filter floss in the little area before the pump where the blue sponge was. Also if I was to get a protein skimmer, how deep does it have to be submerged? and would I be able to get a HOT one and still keep the hood on?
 
Chemi-pure and purigen are better alternatives to carbon. If you can find space for botht hat is the way to go.
 
I second what colinadam said about chemipure and purigen, both great especially in nanos. I have a saphire skimmer in chamber 2 and like it. I don't think a hob skimmer ould fit with the hood, unless you mod it. There really is need to as the sapphire and tunze are both great. HTH
