kbreck Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Hi all!! Back into saltwater after nearly 30 years and boy has a lot changed!.. Just started up my WB 10 cube, still waiting on a few things to arrive like my light. Looking at two fish, clown and a goby and then mostly soft corals. Equipment list below. Advice needed on anything and everything 🙂 WB 10 cube Eheim heater 50W stock pump (though I would like to replace, any recommendations for a stronger pump?) AI prime 16 reef with 12" goose neck filter sock for now but will replace with Intank basket soon (chemipure in sock) Fiji pink sand 8lbs dry rock Instant Ocean salt Yup homemade cover made with cross stitch screen and duck tape. Waterbox is out of stock of there covers for the 10. Quote Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Great tank,sounds like you are off to a great start. Aren't the stock pumps the DC pumps ? Should be plenty for almost everything unless you have wall to wall top to bottom jammed packed with sps. Quote Link to comment
MrP Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I wouldn't recommend too large of a return pump on this tank. The weir being only 4 small slots simply just doesn't allow a lot of flow through it. I have 2 of these little 10 gallon tanks. Both have a Sicce Syncra Nano pump which in my opinion, is the perfect amount of flow. These are nice lids if you want something a bit more fancy. https://www.krakenreef.com/collections/waterbox-cube-lids/products/waterbox-cube-10-lid Quote Link to comment
kbreck Posted June 16, 2022 Author Share Posted June 16, 2022 I just ordered a Sicce Nano to replace the stock pump. IThe stock one gives a good flow just the sound is driving me crazy lol. More pics coming later as my AI is due today Quote Link to comment

kbreck Posted June 17, 2022 Author Share Posted June 17, 2022 AI prime installed. Developed my own spectrum and schedule. Really wish the app and set up was a little more beginner friendly. Quote Link to comment
