I picked up this Biocube 32 last month as a slight upgrade over my previous 20 long. Life got in the way and the 20 long fell to the wayside. It was turned over to a FOWLR tank and someone else took care of the tank after I moved into my first house. Between the new job and being a first time home buyer, there was not any spare time. Fast forward to last month when I came across a nice black Friday deal on the tank and stand that would work well at the new place.
So, I got everything setup with new substrate and all new water before tearing down the other tank and moving the rock and inhabitants. Since then everything has transitioned well into the new tank. More will come with time, but it is nice to enjoy as is since I haven't had an aquarium at home for a while.
Equipment:
- Biocube 32 LED (stock lighting and pump will remain for a little while)
- Hydor Koralia Nano 240 and 425 (the 425 will likely be switched to a Aqamai KPS)
- Innovative Marine Spin Stream
- Eheim Jager 125W heater
- Innovative Marine ChaetoMax
Filtration:
- Thick blue bonded filter floss
- ChemiPure Elite
- Seachem Purigen
- Chaetomorpha spp.
Other:
- CaribSea reef sand (natural or special grade, can't remember off-hand)
- Approximately 30 lbs. of well established live rock from my old tank
- Fritz R.P.M. salt

During today's water change, I pulled this eunicid worm from the tank that has gone unnoticed for a long time. Moved some rock around and this was just hanging out underneath. It is approximately 6" long.
