Biocube 32g build

[kevgib67]

Would you share your lighting schedule please? I have had a tough time with algae and I am wondering what times and for how long you run each of your 3 channels ? Thanks

Yes, light schedule 1 12:00pm- 5: 00pm, 2 9:00am-9:00pm, 3 7:00am-11: pm. Hope this helps.

Current fts and some new inhabitants.

Seeing the progression over a year is impressive. Nice work.

I haven’t added to my thread in awhile. Thought I would post 4 of my new additions. Also if you look real hard you can see one of my sexy shrimp just above the orange one on the right. They are very small, about a half an inch.

Tank looks great!

This tank always looks stunning. And maybe your next add would be a nice little Anemone
Looking grate as always.

Ya, l love BTAs but with such a small tank and with it moving around, I have such little space to move my corals if it would pick an undesirable location. With my luck it would find a spot that’s hard to see and then host my clowns and all would be out of site. I have been opening up to the idea more than I ever have in the past. They are beautiful!

I got a frag of my NY Knicks torch and orange frogspawn back! Eak the Freak gave me a free frag of his Jason Fox Raja Rampage chalice, wow beautiful. His is about 12” around. Check out his instagram account.

Looking for suggestions. Last night with lights out I saw the sweeper tentacles of the Rasta Rampage, wow are they long ( I was warned when I was given it). I don’t think as it grows it can stay where it’s at, I don’t want it killing anything on my frogspawn/hammer garden. I’m thinking of putting it to the left and could move a couple things. Where would you suggest?

Beautiful setup! I got a few chalice pieces as well and was going to try something on the back panel. Started out with gluing a tester frag plug or 2, soon after wasn't happy with it so took it off...now I have a large glue spot on my back wall lol. So this last weekend I ordered a single 45 degree magnetic frag rack from oceanbox design and I love it, I put a torch it for now. It's very clean, comes in 45 or 90 degree. My thinking is it will serve as a base to possible either starting point to grow on the back wall or plate off it! Just a thought and it may be a terrible idea but I ordered 3 more...just when you think your out of room!

Hey thanks for the heads up, I just checked it out this morning and I think I am going to go in that direction. Very nice way to optimize space in a smaller tank!

Nice! I ordered my first single from amazon was a little more $ than the main website, in this box came a 10% off coupon from their website. Ordering the 3 pack thinking I have a 10% off the website heck yea.... coupon only works for certain items and they get you for $8 shipping so cost wise its not much different! I'm always looking for the deal!

I'm just starting a 32g biocube and this is helping me get an idea of what's possible with the stock lights. Your tank looks great!

Thank you so much. I would be happy to help with any questions you have, this tank is going on 22 months.

Looks Great! Curious to see this chalice come along

 

[CBonito]

This turned out really well.

 

[Wrassenaround]

Can you post updates on the amphipods you ordered once they come in and if they populate well? I had a TON in my old tank but don't have a lot in my current. Granted I have 3 wrasses

 

[littlefoxx]

Standard leds that come with the Biocube 32.

What did you set them too? Have the same tank and my corals hated it so it ruined the tank for me and now its just a QT. I would love to re start though

Sure, they arrive today but I don’t get home from work until after 8:00 pm. I’m getting them from Dinkins Aquatics Garden. One of my favorite vendors that always exceed my expectations.
