Hello Reef 2 Reef friends! I wanted to give a 1 year update of my experience with my Biocube 32 LED. We set up the tank on November 20, 2021. It was my wife and I first reef tank and boy have we learned a bunch! Over all it has been a great tank. We have had our ups and downs like everyone. The dreaded ugly stage, 0 nutrients cause you want to clean everything all the time when you first get the new tank haha. Then realizing the tank is to clean, what a mistake. Battling dinoflagellates $@&?% those things haha. But all in all it’s been a really enjoyable experience.
I want to post some pictures of the ups and downs and how the tank looks today. We still have a ways to go and many more obstacles in store for this reef but I’m proud of where we sit today.
I have decided to get rid of the stock hood. waiting on my new prime 16 HD. The hood has done fair for a little while but I think the colors and growth have suffered from that hood. Definitely in the color department.
Now hopefully next year I will be posting an amazing photo of the cube.
“All’s I want for Christmas is stability”
