    Biocube Project 1/18/23

    I have received a custom Biocube from a friend and I was told that it had been setup for over a year. Just from the looks of it, it certainly does need some tlc. I do have fluval 13.5 with tons of coral that I would like to move into the tank eventually. But I would like to hear others' thoughts...

    Hello Reef in DC

    Hi all! New to the forum officially, but a long time lurker. I’m from Michigan but currently live in DC. I joined the hobby many years ago when I lived in Florida and had a 55 gallon reef tank. I was a grad student (in marine biology) and had very little money so I scraped by with some of the...

We have a Biocube 32 LED and of coarse we have upgraded it quite a bit. Went with an AI Prime 16 HD after observing the...

    Clam Questions

    I am thinking about a crocea or maxima clam for my 16 gallon biocube when my tank is established. I have some questions. 1) Which is easier to care for? 2) Could I even be able to put one in my biocube?

    How to add more sand to sandbed?

    After a few years, my sandbed, especially in the front of my tank has been almost worn out, during my wc this weekend I exposed the bottom, so it’s time to add some more sand, but I’m not sure where to start. Some places I’ve seen say to use live sand to not suffocate the bacteria in the sand...

    mystery algae identification

    So ive noticed this algae popping up in my tank over the past few weeks. It is on the sandbed and rocks and I have looked it up and have not been able to identify it. It is almost fuzzy little balls that coat the surface of my sand and rocks. It definitely doesn’t appear to be one of the...

    Worm or snail poop??

    Hey so I moved my snail (I think it’s a turbo) and hermit crab from my other tank into this one. I didn’t do an official QT, I just scrubbed the shells really well in a bowl of new + old tank water and then once really clean I dunked them separately in a new dish of RODI. I thought that would be...

    EMERGENCY Green BTA not doing good

    My Green BTA was doing alright yesterday, but today he’s completely hiding from the light, and his center is looking really messed up. The tanks a biocube, so it’s not like the lights are that strong. He’s been slightly bleached since I got him (2 weeks ago) but he’s never really been like this...

    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...

    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...
