HAHA! Well I'm not sure which skimmer to get?

Or If I even need to spend 150 on one lol

Sapphire fits right in Chamber 2. It takes up the whole chamber but fits perfectly without any mods.

the 9002 will allow you a media rack... I'm going to be running chemi-pure and purigen...and possibly turning chamber 1 into a fuge somehow... lol

I was thinking of the sapphire but i didnt know it took up the whole middle chamber.. I think the tunze will be perfect.

So next on the list

tunze 9002


Ro/DI ?
^^^not sure on what yet? any ideas on this guys?

It's about time, get the Tunze going

Birds nest from when I got it to now.



looks like some good growth


ZOAS from when i got them to now


sorry about the small pics lol
these corals have been in my tank prob a little over a month now

cool to see some growth

For those of u with the tunze how does it sit in your tank?

I found one for $100 shipped!

I have it mounted on the wall between chambers 2 and 3. It's a magnetic mount so you can adjust to wherever you keep your water level.

The one I was thinking of buying doesnt have the magnet mount...It has like a clip to hang it on...

Im stoked! I got a Aussi acan today at the lfs and my friend gave me his sun coral because it was dyeing but I have been feeding it and he is looking better.

Ill post pics tomorrow or some time this weekend.

Also I should be getting the Tunze skimmer next week!

Nice!

nosey what biocube is better on ur sig 1 or two

nm I see two is a continue of the first one..

good deal!

Ya im really happy about getting the acan.. I wasn't going to get it... then i was like what ever lets do it lol. I happy about it now.

I think I need a little more flow in my tank. I have the stock pump and a koralia 1.. I was thinking of upgrading the stock pump or get another koralia maybe nano one or the 1?

hey ANDO. iam new to the biocube 29 gallon. i didnt read threw the 9 pages thats on this fourm so i dont know if u have allready sayed it once. Can u tell me more about your lights. how many inches is it? and whats the exact type of t5 are they i would like to buy the same thing. i want to keep hard and soft corals and mushrooms as well. ANY plz help. also for anyone else whats the best lighting company to buy my lights from and also what type. thanks alot for the help

The light are 20" apart exact. They fit perfect for a 29gallon biocube. There are 6 bulbs on the light 3 actinic and 3 day light and each bulb has its own individual reflector. They work very good for pretty much any coral Hard, Soft, Mushrooms, Zoos, and clams.

I bough the light from aquabuys.com

The light was 234.99 with free shipping


As for T5 lighting. If each bulb does not have its own individual reflector they wont be any better than power compacts. So u want to have very good reflectors.

I would highly recommend The Nova Extreme Pro...That's what I have.

Let me know if u have any more questions.

I love my Nova Extreme Pro on my 24G Nano Cube.

Her is the new Australian Acan I got the other day at the LFS



You guys like?

yep

i wanna see a FTS

Still new!

Ando, do you still only have one clown fish?

no there are two. The other one was behind the rock.. They are usually out with each other cruzing around

Those look fantastic!

I got a new pulsing xenia today. Now I have 3 different kinds.

Your tank is coming along nicely Ando.

hey what do u think about this for only a little more

http://www.aquabuys.com/miva/merchant.mvc?...roduct_Count=13

i want my tank to look just like urs

and do u have a protein skimmer and if not why. whats ur thoughts let me know guys

That light is a metal halide. They are good but they give off lots of heat. I live in Florida so I didnt want to take the chance with lots of heat. Metal halides also use more energy to use. T5's are more energy eficient.

As for protein skimmers. Im getting one next week. Its a Tunze 9002. If you don't have a protein skimmer I would do bigger water changes. Right now I dont have one so I do about 5 or 10 gallon water changes.

just picked up about thirty nasarius snails from the beach. jUst trying to upgrade the cuc a little bit.

If anyone ever needs some cerith snails or Nasarius snails let me know! I got about 100 nasarius snails in about 20 minutes yesterday.

I can always run down to the beach and collect them for you guys.. Just shoot me a pm.

Alright lads! I ordered my Tunze Skimmer from someone on another website! 100 bones shipped! Im stoked. I sent the money today so it should be coming soon.

Hopefully she will skim like a CHAMP!

Good deal on the skimmer!

I might take you up on the snails.

Ya let me know. We can work something out. I can get tons of them

woah you actually took snails from the beach? are you sure they are nas because there was a big mix up between nas and another species awhile ago

ya they r nasarrius snails.

I got my Tunze skimmer yesterday. It's in my tank now working great! I am making a new media rack bc my old one is too big. Ill post some pics tomorrow

how's everything working out for you Ando?....New skimmer, new media rack?

Here is a quick Vid I made yesterday... I was very bored lol.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lXUnsJoP34



Thats a pic of the new media rack I built... The rack and skimmer fit perfectly in the middle chamber.

All the sps frags are encrusting on the plugs too!

Very nice, I'll like the vid. I'll made one too, but i put it on my facebook, i'll try to upload it to youtube

do u have the link?

I am currently uploading another one of the modifications I did too.

What on youtube ??? I should do that same, when i was starting up my tank I got lots of info from that website.

No you said you have a video on your facebook... Do u have a link to your video?

Are you on facebook?

ya

Just go onto your facebook account and go to "Groups" and type in biocube. t will come up, because i'm the only one to have a biocube group.

Join the group if you like. It's all the same stuff thats on hear, but i started the facebook one first. I'm the only one who posts anything ...lol

your from van?

Here another quick vid

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxHeVQ1ZI8M

I am from Van!!!!!!!!....I like your mod vid's, I'm going to have to make some of my own, and try and get my other one back up on facebook. I don't know how or why it was removed but it was there for about a week.

Yea you need to get em back up!

More than likely what you got were Ilyanassa obsoleta snails. They look very similar to the nassarius snails but they are found in temperate waters off of areas like the Southern U.S. (We have them here in N.C. as well). They are not the normal Nassarius Vibex snails that you see for sale that are commonly used in the reef tank. They can actually bring in some nasty parasites and disease to your tank. They can also go after other snails and possibly corals as well. Here is a good article on the differences in the two snails. I'm not saying don't use them, just be careful and take a look at this.

Thanks for that article. But I still think they are Nassarius Vibex snails.. they have a sharp tip and the shells are still very rigid. I hope im not wrong lol.

Well today I got 5 more sps frags from a reefer from here.

- two acros
1 monti cap (red)
1 poker star monti
1tri color ora looks like pruple bonzai purple with green polyps

I will post pics tomorrow. They were just acclimated and put into my tank.

Stay tuned

I think i might be selling my skimmer?

Here is a updated FTS of my tank. I got 5 new coral in it.


1-pokerstar
2-red table acro
3-aqua delight acro
4-ORA looks like bonzai
