Re: Problem with my new biocube 29

Rinse the filter pad under the kitchen sink and put it back in. When it gets clogged again, rinse it under the sink and put it back in. It'll take a couple days if you have fine dust like that, which won't settle out. Just keep rinsing the filter pad so that it's not clogged.

Got a canister? Strap that sucker on the tank and let it pull all that dust out and capture it in a fine paper filter. It'll clear up overnight.
