My first saltwater tank after keeping a 75g freshwater for 8 years. Wasn't sure about upkeep so I didn't want to go all in, and decided the Biocube 32 would be a good intro for me. Sumps and skimmers seemed beyond my capacity (and budget) so an all in one was the best choice for me to see how I liked the additional upkeep required for a saltwater tank.
Mainly my early questions were:
"Is mixing saltwater going to be a huge hassle?"
"Are parameters going to be a hassle to maintain?"
"Will I be able to have a tiny piece of the ocean in my living room (my main goal) without a ton of extra money and time?"
I'm 8 months into it now and it's truly been a delight. Haven't lost any fish or coral (besides a frogspawn that was eaten by a peppermint shrimp and has thus grown back) and maintenance time has been easily doable. I suppose I'll go into that in my next post.
I've been looking for established 32g Biocubes on here for inspiration in terms of stocking and what not but haven't seen too many. Maybe too many beginners go with it but end up not that dedicated to join a forum? I created an account in order to buy from the users on here but I definitely could have used a starter thread like this for the 32 Biocube when I started researching so perhaps this will help someone else in their early journey.
