BioCube Filtration Stages
(Figures C8–C10)
1. Water ows from aquarium into the surface
and bottom intakes into chamber 1 where
some enters the protein skimmer
(Figure C8). The protein skimmer removes
many harmful organic materials from
the water.
2. From chamber 1, water ows over the top
of and through the lter cartridge into
the refugium in chamber 2 (Figure C9).
Live macroalgae and live rock in the
refugium remove excess nutrients and add
oxygen to the water while helping stabilize
the pH level.
3. From the refugium, water ows into
chamber 3 through the sponge lter
and into the water pump (Figure C10).
The water pump then forces the water
through the exible tubing and back into
the aquarium through the discharge nozzle.
