Installing Fission Skimmer to JBJ Nanocube 12dx

Jeremy725 · 11/25/2006, 05:19 PM

I have a 12 gallon JBJ Nano Cube Dx. I just purchased the Fission skimmer and see aboslutely no way of installing it. I'm sure it can be done...but I don't see how it fits. Using the "elbows" or not. Please any advice or thoughts on how to achieve this are greatly appreciated.

Don't waste your time, it's crap. I threw mine in the garbage after about a month. Anyways, to answer your question.... I had to take the partition out between the second and third chamber and put the pump under the skimmer. It fit, but didn't skim. If you haven't used it yet I'd seriously consider sending it back and getting your money back.

You have to get it wedged in the second chamber w/ the elbow in the front right corner. It is difficult to do, and takes some monkeying around with. BUT, honestly that thing is total crap. I preordered one before they were released, and it is worthless as tits on a bull!!!!! Return it if you can - trust me, quite a few of us had the same experience.
