Robert's Secret Sauce for Growing Healthy Colorful Corals NEW VIDEO + 25% off Korallen-Zucht!

I recently got a Biocube 29 secondhand from a man that frequents my LFS. It has the Aquatic Life nano skimmer in the intake chamber, and I was wondering what I should do with the big chamber before I go ahead and fill it. I wanted to have a mixed reef system, primarily with softies, but I would like to grow monti caps on the upper levels as well. Would it be more effective to run a couple of bags of zeolite, and GAC (probably with the other Zeovit products), or to simply run a fuge light and chaeto. I certainly know more about the chaeto than the Zeolite, but I am by no means an expert. I just want to have the most effecient way possible, preferable without tacking on too much to the biocube shell.

Hello ! I was introduced to that hobby by my good friend Shaun. At this moment I run a small Pico 20g but I really love Shaun's shallow build. So inspired by his system I've started to build my own 30x30x12. We're thinking to move this year and it would be super hard to move a large tank, so it's going to be a very very very slow updated thread before we move. Then I'll follow with all the updates when finally I would be able to run what I've started. Shaun thanks again! Stand: DIY. Light: ATI 24" SunPower + Kessil 160we Tuna Blue.
