    Below is the story of how this build evolved into my dream tank and became the ultimate BioCube build. I’ve always been attracted to nano’s. Historically, I have moved every 2-5 years so the thought of moving a large setup discouraged me from ever going big. I purchased the BioCube 29 gallon...

    Hi all, I have an Innovative Marine SR-60 and really love it. It’s my display tank. I have the stock lid and it worked for a while. The issue is the stock lid leaves a decent gab around the rim. I lost two gobies because they jumped out! Squeezed right through the gap. A yasha and a Dracula...
