Brand Newby With Aquatopia 80l
Hi guys
Ive have always always loved marine tanks, freshwater tanks just dont cut it for me so when i bought my house, as a celebration i bought myself an aquatopia 80L marine starter..
Because I have just moved it has sat empty on the table and today i have filled it with fresh water to check all the pumps etc are working..
Bit disappointed to see that the water doesnt flow over the middle weir like the instruction book said it will and that the pump in the third chamber runs dry before stopping pumping water then starts up again..
Does anyone have this tank and can explain to me if this sounds right??
Im sorry if my question sounds daft but i have tried contacting the shop i bought it from but seemingly im being ignored.. Also im sceptical about returning for questions to that shop as when i ordered it i was informed that it was on back order and will be 3 weeks before it can be shipped yet when it arrived it was full of insects..
Also the filter canisters all have the same porcelain rings in them, is this right or have i been duped there too?
Many thanks :)
