smidey Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Hi all, (Hood filter, spraybar>filterwool>thru box containing bio rings>feeds back into tank) can anyone confirm for me the correct way the "boxes" are placed in, is the water level supposed to get very high in them & submerge the bio rings or just cover the bottom of the rings? If i put my filter box up one way the water level does not rise, if I put it in the other way the water level in the box gets quite high & almost overflows but at same time submerges the bio rings. It has worked for 8 months or so with the level not riisng much but i suspect this is the wrong way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpidersWeb Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 I've got a Jebo R338 It works the same way (with the spraybar, and an overflow etc). Water is sprayed on to filter wool, then drips on to the bio-rings, then drops in to the tank. The filter foam is only wet were the water runs through it, it is not fully submersed, if it is fully submersed the water spills in to the overflow. The bio-rings ARE submersed, but only a single layers worth. The water height in the filter box is about 10mm. Hope thats of some help? I would go with the 'one way' rather than the 'other way' in your option choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady-Lene Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Oh dear SpidersWeb - You said 'layers'. Are those little bio-rings supposed to be stacked in neatly? I just threw them in randomly :oops: And Smidey that means the photo on the left is correct (you had them in correctly). Trust me to come along and confuse you lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakyfish Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Dont worry the Ceramic rings only need to be placed in there anyway they dont have to be placed neatly Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smidey Posted October 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 I have tried the opposite way today & it works as well, the "spout up" means that the bio rings are only "dripped on", the other way means the rings are submerged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
