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...
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...
Hi all,
I have a biocube 32 with the coralife protein skimmer. I recently upgraded the media basket to the intank one that fits biocube 32s. I was curious to if anyone else has done this and what they've done to fit the coralife protein skimmer and the intank media basket so that both work...
Good Afternoon everyone, I am finally posting my tank after building it in September of 2021. Was nervous I was going to crash my tank so I waited to post until now.
Tank Setup: Biocube 32 with a refugium and filter floss in chamber two. In chamber one I have the bio cube skimmer that I...
Hello there!
My wife and I are expecting our first child in the beginning of March and we've decided to turn an old Coralife Biocube 14 a friend gave me into his first tank and night light for the nursery. I have had several FOWLR tanks over the years (including a LED Biocube 32 currently in my...
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?
Just picked up a Tiger conch for our second tank that I’ve recently started up. It seems happy and been doing it’s thing.
I’m wondering if I can borrow it for my second tank which is about a year old to cleanup the sandbed for a few days and then place him back in its original tank. Just want...
Wondering how many fish you can have in a 32 gallon biocube that won’t be too heavy of a bio load on my corals. Currently have a clown and a six line wrasse but for sure wanting to get a yellow clown goby and a yellow head jawfish. Would like more fish then that but feel like that would...
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.
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...
Just curious if there are any single predatory fish or invertebrates that can live comfortably alone in a 14gal biocube aio?
I'm considering a small mantis shrimp but I'm interested in what other options are out there
Some of you may remember me …. I took a little break as I met my fiancé and moved 100 miles away.
we were renting places so I had family taking care of my tank back home. I just bought a house about 4 months ago. (Paying bills has had me too broke to get the stuff to move my tank, but my family...
Hello,
Curious if I can see your light schedule if you have the same or similar size tank?
I’m hoping to have someone come out or rent a par meter soon but would love to see how yours are set up until then ☺️

I am currently converting my brackish aquarium to a saltwater aquarium. It is a 14 gallon bio cube and it is also my first introduction into saltwater. I bought the tank used and the light in the hood did not work. I removed the electronics and retrofitted an under cabinet white led bar, and an...
Mounted on BioCube lid with Hurricane X controller. $190 shipped to lower 48. I have the exact same ones in my 32 BioCube they work great, i have mostly Zoa but I have a Dunkin and 2 Acans and they are both doing great. If you have any questions HMU.
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 everyone! I currently have a 5 gallon tank I set up for my dwarf seahorses, and they’re doing great, one of the males has babies coming any day now! Anyway, I love my dwarves so much I want to set up a *normal size* seahorse tank as well, so I’m looking for a biocube or nanocube to get that...
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...
Been lurking on this forums for a bit and want to start by saying THANK YOU! This site has ben very helpful. I've wanted to get into saltwater for the longest time and i finally was in a spot to jump in!
That being said, want to get your opinions on if I'm on the right track or if i need to...
Hey there!
I'm new here, but not new to the hobby. I've had freshwater and saltwater tanks, on and off for about 30 years. My 16-year-old son recently expressed an interest in getting a saltwater tank (we currently have freshwater), so I jumped at the chance to get back in and do this together...
Just wanted to share my AIO tanks from over the years!
I first started the hobby with a Biocube in 2016, moved to the 40g IM Nuvo in 2018, and now I have a JBJ 65!
It's been an amazing experience learning about reefing and watching this tank grow! Please feel free to share your tanks below!
