Hey, I recently started a budget reef project.
I bought a used 32 gallon biocube setup on facebook marketplace for $200 USD, and spent around $600 in total for all the equipment, rocks sand etc. I have everything needed except a skimmer and phosphate reactor because I havent set up a sump yet, and there isnt enough room in the back chamber. If anybody knows a HOB Skimmer/reactor that's compatible lmk
Here's the list of equipment I have setup so far:
Biocube 32
Stand
2 hygger 1050 gph pumps
kessil 160 tuna blue
AI prime 16hd (not added yet)
DC pump/diy plumbing
2 intank media chambers - might setup refugium idk
Filter media
Jager heater
30lb caribsea live rock
~0.5-1 inch caribsea sand
Red sea 4 doser/hoses
Custom acrylic lid
RO/DI unit
Duetto ATO
I added some cycle quickstart product, ill try adding hardy fish/coral in 2-3 weeks
Here's some pictures of the tank. It's been running for 2 days now, i added some fish food to let it deteriorate for a few weeks.
