    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...
