biocube 32

I’ve been reading other people’s posts for much too long without posting any of my own progress and experiences. So wanted to start a thread and will put some info on how it’s been going so far. For starters I had done FOWLR tanks about 15 years ago and then stopped due to some life changes. My...

Hello! I have a BioCube 32 and I want to raise the hood so there is better airflow and also so my floating plants have more room to grow vertically. Any suggestions are appreciated!

Hey guys, I have a 32 gallon Biocube, I have a Tunze 9001 skimmer in the tank, but I'm honestly not crazy about it. I am looking at purchasing a aquamaxx HOB-1, but was wondering if I can run this in chamber 2 with my InTank Media Basket, or if I can run the protein skimmer in chamber 1. Any...

Hi All, This is my new bio cube 32 gallon and in the 3rd chamber the water level is in the middle (as shown in below image), do i need to add more water in this chamber alone (The water is almost full as you can see in second image)? Also there was a sponge like thing attached in the bottom of...

What's up everyone! I've been lurking around the forums for a few years now and held off on starting a build thread because I felt like I didn't have much to contribute since I'm new to the hobby. I now realize that should've been the biggest reason to start one sooner as it would've saved me a...

Hey everyone! Decided to start one of these build threads to track the progress of my first tank as I go. Still cycling currently, doing a fishless cycle with ghost feeding and I added Fritz TurboStart. The TurboStart seems to be working fairly well, I never even saw a spike in ammonia levels...

Hi All, I am new to the R2R (at least from a posting perspective) but figured that I would finally get my tank setup up so that I can start posting pictures, asking questions etc. When I was a young warthog, my uncle set me up with my very first tank (a 55g breeder with tropical fish). I...

Hello, I have a biocube 32g and I have not noticed very much growth in my corals and have heard/read it could be because of my light schedule. My current light schedule is for the pink (sun rise) lights to come on at 9:30am-10:00am. My whites come on at 10:00am and are on until 5:00pm. My sunset...

I’ve seen substantial growth of my birds nest but absolutely nothing else. I don’t know if it’s normal but I’ve had 2 hammers, a frogspawn and a torch for about 4-5 months now and I do see new baby tentacles weekly but never any heads splitting. Does anyone else have this issue with Biocube...

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with running a skimmer in the stand of a Biocube? I know the advantage of Biocube is that it’s AIO, but I don’t like the coralife skimmer I got with the tank. While it does work, it’s noisy (I don’t mind noise as long as it’s steady like a fan) and it...

Hi, I have had my biocube setup on a DIY stand that I built, but it doesn’t quite fit the look of the interior of the house and I’m going to move it when I find a new stand. I have done hours of research trying to find a good stand and I have only found a few from pictures that I couldn’t find...

Hi, This is my first post. I have had my Coralife Biocube 32 running for around 2 months now. The nitrogen cycle has completed and now I have moved on to the ugly stage, as you may see with some hair algae and diatoms (diatoms just started forming in the past few days). But that’s not the...

Hello guys I was recently thinking about adding a Nero 3 or 5 to my biocube it’s a Euphyllia dominant tank. I want to create a more random flow. I have a Jeabao SLW-10 but it just pushes out to much flow in a straight constant flow. It doesn’t pulse or wave like it says it does in the tank. If...

Anyone know what the output nozel size is for this? And if a random flow generator is worth it? I imagine it’ll cut down on the gph through my return and it’s the stock pump. Thanks.

Hi All, I am planning to get a new saltwater aquarium. Can you please suggest which is better ? BioCube 32 Gallon or Peninsula AIO 20 Gallon. Thanks.

Hello all! I just wanted to share my most recent PAR measurements I did on the stock BioCube 32g LED lights. To make it simple I made a video on it and was able to see upwards of 300 PAR under all three channels at the highest intensity of the day, using the Seneye Reef:

Hey guys I have a 32 galllon biocube and the coralife stand with it. Now I set everything up and have it placed on hardwood floor but first my stand had a little wobble as far as I can tell it’s from the floor if I bring it out from the wall it doesn’t wobble nearly as much but I can’t just...

While getting my Biocube 32 together and ready I had a couple questions on current and future upgrades of equipment. 1. lighting: I was looking at Steve’s LED upgrade. Is this something I could add in later? I’d like to start cycling the aquarium soon and not sure if I want to wait till I can...

I need advice and help from some reefers who have some experience. I want to start my first saltwater tank. In the past I’ve had freshwater and planted tanks, but never saltwater and certainly not with live corals. I have been interested and done some research over the past four years. My friend...

I currently have a Hydra 16 HD on my 32 Gallon biocube. Looking for an upgrade and i have 3 options. Anyone using 1 of these 3? Whats your pros and cons. I’m just wanting to get a better spread and have better par all around the tank. Would like to be able to keep a clam no issues. Also if I...

I’m moving my damsel to my 16 gallon. I want to add the following to my 32 and need some help deciding 2 clowns (for sure) Royal gramm/orchid dottyback Yellow corris wrasse wpuld the dottyback or the gramma be better? My rock scape is very flat at the moment because of my engineer goby who...

Hey all. I’m new to the forum and to saltwater tanks. In the past I’ve had several different fish tanks. All have been freshwater. For the last 4 years I’ve given a lot of thought to a nano reef tank. Finally decided to go for it, so I’m getting a 32 gallon LED Biocube on Saturday. I’m going to...

I’ve got a 32 gallon biocube led. It’s currently occupant is one four stripe damsel and a ****ton of coral. I’m moving my damsel to my new 16 gallon. I want to know what would work best in my 32. My wife is insistent on clowns. I’m thinking some common clowns. Small ones. next I want to add...

Hi all, see my build thread for background if you want :) This is about removing the hinges attached to the biocube ( the lid is already removed ). I am trying to think of the best way to get my skimmer to fit, and this hinge is the only thing getting in the way for placing in chambers 2 and 3...

*Edit I clicked SPS by accident. Not sure how to move or delete this thread New to this hobby, see my build thread for tank type / setup. Water params are all good < .25 ppm ammonia( detects but never gets to first color zone of api drop tester kit), 0 nitrite, and < 5ppm nitrate. Sorry if...
