icatchsnook Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Welcome and your biocub16 looks great. I have the same system but am running chaeto in the middle chamber instead of the media. Sometimes I wonder if the media would be better for coral growth to have some measurable nitrates and phosphates (which I never do) in the biocube16. 2 Quote Link to comment
