My New Biocube 32 Gallon

How was the install? Did you buy with the irridecence booster?

Any thoughts from anyone here on when I should do a water change?

Do one now but then after read the post I left down below. Thanks!

I'm still not the best at knowing when and where to post. Hopefully some of you see this, here are some up to dates with the Steve's LEDS installed. Been running them about a month and a half now. I still can't get my water crystal clear. I'm doing water changes every 2 weeks now and I've managed to lower the amount of food when feeding which I think is contributing to positive progress!

My current params are as follows:

Ammonia: 0.0
Ph: 8.2
Nitrite: 0.0
Nitrates: .25-.30

Would love some feedback on getting the water crystal clear. I have filter floss, activated charcoal and purigen for bio.

Any and all tips are welcome!!

Get a 9w Green Killing Machine at Petco for $50. It will fit in the center part of the tank where the filter is. It cleared my Biocube crystal clear overnight.

I have the intank media tray in the middle, will this still fit? It looks long?

I also have the inTank media basket in the middle. Look back several messages in this post and you will see. Yes it will fit.

My bio cube will be three years old in December and I have had a lot of trial and error experiences with it. I have a heater in my first chamber followed by an InTank media basket with filter floss, Chemi pure blue, and Seachem Matrix in a mesh bag on the bottom shelf. I also purchased the InTank fuge basket and made several attempts at keeping Chaeto but just didn’t have any luck. Steve’s LEDs are the biggest and best upgrade I made.
