    I picked up a used 29 bio cube last weekend. There is alot of noise from the water dropping from first chamber to second. Is there suppose to be bio balls or a tray to break water noise? Thanks

    Yes I just read online and it said to ignore the water fill line as im not using bio balls. Thanks my biggest concern was it back filling.

    There's no real way for it to over flow

    Its the best way to run bio balls for clean purposes and best for oxygenation for bacteria.
