    Just a post to see what you guys recommend I add for stocking my biocube 32. Right now I have 2 clowns and a sapphire damsel. Filtration I use the intank media basket and have a refugium with chaeto. (It grows insanely fast) for some species I was thinking (not all of these just a conbibation of...

    EMERGENCY Fire fish caught in filter, now I can’t find him, and I’m going away in 3 days.

    Yesterday I got home to see my fire fish stuck in the bio cube 32 back wall filtration thing, with his head sticking out into the tank, and the rest of his body in the 1st filtration area. I got him out and he kind of lifelessly sank to the bottom, and sat there for about an hour or 2, and he...

    What's Safer for Removing Bryopsis? High Mg or Fluconazole?

    I'm dealing with an outbreak of bryopsis in my 32g biocube. I have a fairly full tank of softies, LPS, some SPS, and a BTA. I also have a refugium going with copepods. What's a safer way to eliminate bryopsis...using elevated Magnesium over 1500 or dosing with Reef Flux (Fluconazole)? I...

    Build Thread A SW newbie's BioCube 32 gal

    I have an amazing wife. For Christmas 2021 she got me a Coralife LED BioCube 32 gallon AIO with the specially made stand. Assembly was fairly easy, using standard tools. After assembly of the stand, I wiped the tank on the inside with a wet cloth and performed a test installation. We'll...

    Should I get a skimmer for my biocube 32?

    I’ve had the tank set up for about a year, and currently have a sapphire damsel, fire fish, and some LPS and softies. The tank is stable, and my water change schedule is doing fine, but I’m wondering if it would be worth it to go for a nano skimmer for it. Are there any reasons I should or...

    Bubble tip anenome in biocube?

    I’m mostly concerned with the stock lights, would they be powerful enough? My tank is a year and a half old, and it’s been mostly FOWL, but I recently got frogspawn, a few Zoas, some gsp, and a toadstool which are all doing good. I’m getting more into corals, but am really interested in...

    Could I feasibly keep a (captive bred) mandarin dragonet in a biocube 32

    I’ve seen things about them being able to destroy a pod population in a few days, but is this really true? I have an inTank Refugium comming in a few days so I’ll have a little fuge to support a pod population, but would also be willing to dose pods on a somewhat regular basis (bi weekly?) and...

    End of cycle? All my nitrAtes disappeared?

    Hello, So I have been fishless cycling my BC29 for a couple weeks now and I went through an ammonia spike, nitrite spike, and… not a nitrate spike? [USING API TEST KIT— I know, it’s junk] I may sound delusional but literally, my ammonia was so high that the tests were robin-egg blue. Everyone...

    Cycle is stressing me out

    Okay so this is my first reef tank— not my first cycle rodeo though. Anyway, I decided to go the fishless route. This is a Biocube 29. I used StartSmart and Nitrocycle. Basically just bacteria and ammonia. My sand is carib sea arag-alive and my rock is 20lb of carib sea life rock plus 7lb of the...

    Biocube 2nd chamber & chaeto?

    So I want to use the rear 2nd chamber as a refugium and put some chaeto back in there, along with some reef rubble and/or marinepure. Will a small power head or those flat wave makers help in there or is there enough circulation from the spill over put of the first chamber?

    UV sterilizer help

    Does anyone know of a UV sterilizer that will work for a biocube 16? I have been using the coralife one and it’s a piece of ****. The one on my 32 gallon works fine. This one keeps blowing bulbs or just not lighting period. Coralife even sent me a new bulb and nothing.

    ID Moving Brown Specks?

    I have posted a few pics of my tank on here and I’ve gotten a pretty general consensus - it doesn’t look mature and I don’t seem to have enough algae for my pincushion urchin. So I’ve been leaving the white lights on for most of the day, only the blue at night. More algae started growing but...
