    Passed by an aquarium and saw some planted tanks . simply fell in love with it.

    so did some research and bought a dymax Iq5 For my work place.

    so i bought

    Dymax
    IQ 5
    IQ Skimmer
    Co2 Bubble Counter
    Digital Thermometer
    Co2 Atomizer
    Dymax NX5 Light

    Ph Alert

    Some Questions
    1) just realized theres 3 compartments .
    Filter ( dont need to touch it right ?)
    Middle compartment for the Skimmer ( i need another pump for this? if so ? which is the recommended one i should get ? Am i suppose to submerge the pump into the middle compartment? )
    3rd Compartment ( suppose to just leave the pump right at the bottom and let the water pump out ? but theres no bubbles just jets of water?

    Water level - I'm suppose to fill up the water level till the vented holes which flows onto the filter compartments?

    Sorry for asking these noob questions..
    did alot of searching but seems like very few info on the iq5..

    No worries bro.! I was a user of iq5 long ago. I believe the 2 nd compartment is good to place a heater. not sure about the skimmer since i never purchased a iq skimmer before.

    a picture of the skimmer would be good.
