So I got this biocube for Christmas, took a month to realize anything under 30 gallons is a masochist’s wet dream no pun intended lol. I’ve been taking pictures, and keeping notes of mods just in case someone would like to do the same. I did have some questions… Lighting cycle, Whats the optimal time window, and length under 450nm. Does lighting affect ph? if so whats the best time to do water test? I would like to get a green and purple frogspawn, can’t seem to get it local! I’m in central PA!. Hopefully I can get that clown to host it. Any coral recommendations for this size tank? 1 Quote Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Welcome to the community @Ummwhy! 👋 You're off to a great start with your BioCube nano reef, lots of cool mods already it sounds like. Great aquascape, you'll have lots of nice places for mounting coral. 2 hours ago, Ummwhy said: Things I've found to be helpful...
