It's official... it's time for a new build thread!!
After a happy two years with my Fluval Evo 13.5g, the pandemic happened... and I decided to move back home while I would be/am working remotely indefinitely. I decided to take advantage of the move and UPGRADE to a Coralife BioCube 32g!!! I...
After waiting for a cabinet to be ordered and built I have finally gathered all of the things I need to get started. In negotiating for real estate in out very small 1927 bungalow we agreed on getting a large cabinet to hold my existing freshwater planted tank and my new BioCube. Today I made a...
Upgrading my biocube to Steve's. Thinking about getting the purple iridesence boosters. Steve says this about them:
I'm a bit hesitant because I don't like the purple look, it's extra money, they're hotter, and it's more maintenance. But I do like the black light effect, and better growth...
When I first got this piece had that very small the whole coral seems to be doing fine but it has that there doesn’t look like it’s part of it if someone knows thanks
Hi all! I've been reefing for about a year and a half now and unexpectedly, due to covid, I'm going to be moving soon. In the process of moving, I'd like to take advantage of it and expand to a bigger tank. I currently have the Fluval Evo 13.5g and am heavily considering switching to the...
This is how I I currently have my filter media set should the Biological ceramic rings go First or last? I also have have space on chamber 1 to let it sit there before the filtration if I can get some feedback thanks.
Hello just got my new AI Prime 16 HD and found some decent presets but it seems many of them are not set for an HD. What would anyone suggest for a mixed reef tank? It is a 32 BioCube that had previously been running to stock LED’s. Do not want to bleach anyone so right now I am running a...
Hello, I was wondering if there is any good presets for a 32G biocube for the AI Prime HD.
I'm not sure exactly how strong the par reading willb e on the AI Prime HD. If i should move a lot of my corals or just slowly increase the power of the lights.
I know the biocube lighting isnt very...
Purchased and installed in a Coralife Biocube 32g late October 2019. I went a different direction and just uninstalled these yesterday (7/31). They come with the Bluefish WiFi controller and heat sink. $250 shipped to continental US.

From yesterday:
Hello Everyone,
I live in an area that doesn’t normally get hot, but this summer has had some brutal days. Temperatures have gotten high enough to effect my corals.
I have a BioCube 32 with stock LED lights and the hood. Would removing the hood help with temperature control? I know it will...
These have been growing like crazy with my stock led Biocube lights. I have them Place like like in Center middle range Of the tank anyone identify them? Probably going to upgrade to steve led later on if needed
Hello, I would like to get peoples input on what I should change my biocube lighting schedule too.
I would like to add more blue light into the schedule. I don't really like running so much white light all the time. Only schedules i can find are people running with nothing but high % of white...

Hi All,
Thought I would get a jump start on my Biocube 32 build thread. I just purchased it yesterday, it's still in the box, but soon it will be out and the fun will begin. I just placed an order for some things I will need for it which I will list, and also will list things that I still...

I am cycling a 32 gallon bio cube using a 10% ammonium hydroxide solution from Ace Hardware. Things seem to be going well (1ppm ammonia and .50 nitrites so far) but I am suddenly panicked that I used the wrong thing. I can’t find an ingredient list on the bottle. Shaking it does not cause foam...

What are some good starter settings for my biocube. I have mainly Euphyllia corals and an anemone, some other LPS.
List so far:
Fish:
One or two Ocellaris Clownfish
One Royal Gramma

One Tailspot Blenny
Willing to lose one or two fish if necessary, for example, I can cut back to only one Clown and/or lose the Blenny.
Motile Inverts:
One Tuxedo Urchin
One Skunk...
I have had a biocube 30gal for about 5 years now and my fish disappear consistently. I have never found one even when I know it was there earlier in the day but isn't later in the day. I have looked up in the hood, the back in all 3 compartments, in the sand, under the rocks and have even torn...
