BIOCUBE CALLOUT!!

[BlackFish]

To all you Biocubers out there. Let's see aquascape, your live stock, light upgrades, filtration, anything really. Post a pic of your cube and tells us about it. I look forward to seeing everyone's set up!

I have a BC 29. It's still dry, I'm slowly getting all of the system together. But plan on adding a protein skimmer, UV filter, InTank refugium and media basket. I bought the Coralife stand but it's a piece of junk. So I'm gonna just build a new one. Idon't have a build thread yet but will soon.

Only pics I have right now at work. Cell phone pictures so they aren't great. Since these pics my hammer, octospawn, and torches have taken over so most of my zoas, acans, etc. have died or have taken over with GHA. :-(

This tank is only a couple months old (sort of). About half the rock is from my old BC14, the rest is Caribsea Life Rock, most of which I just added last night and shot this picture when I was done. That's why nothing's really opened up. Got a long way to go but I'm very happy so far.

I have asked for a Biocube forum. No answer yet.

I set mine up from a 55g breakdown in September 2015.

@Scubafrog that's a good looking hammer.

@donnievaz how is ur flow with ur live rock being that tall at ur return?

 

[relic]

2 month old tank...to be my first serious tank...

My daughters BC29. Two months old, already have a Steve's LED upgrade. She has a Duncan, hammer, pipe and a rose bubble anemone. She runs an Aqueon 600 powerhead hooked up to a hydroponic timer set for 30 secs on 30 off. Two false perc and an orchid dotyback.

Flow is good I think. The return is just to the left of the rock so it's not being blocked. I have it aimed up to agitate the surface plus the pump has been upgraded to an MJ1200 (not crazy about it, it's loud). I also have a Koralia on each side connected to a Hydor Smartwave.

this is my late 29 biocube. It lives on in my 120.

 

[Retro Reefer]

My BC14.. 14 lb real reef rock / live sand hardware includes RW4, BC skimmer, BC inline uv and I just upgraded to nanobox LED's with bluefish controller.

Thank you. It is getting huge. Shading out my zoas underneath.

Which model nanobox did you get? Did you retro fit or remove the stock lid?

 

[Retro Reefer]

it's the retro, I'm going to do a thread about it and the installation prosess soon

 

[BlackFish]

I'll kept a look out for it

So can I ask a question? The rapid led kit for the biocube...worth it? Am considering it but would like to hear others on the subject...Steve's led is a consideration as well but the prices seem to be higher with Steve then with rapid led for from what I can tell is the same equipment... Any thoughts?

My biocube! It has led lights has stock filtration. I added a reactor. 2 clowns (1 Picasso clown 1 misbar blood orange clownfish) 1 azure damsel, and orange stripe watchman goby.
I will soon mod the tank and put coralife 65 skimmer and if the water quality is still great I will add a pearly head jawfish and a firefish

That's pretty nice!

I've had my Biocube 29 for almost a year. I've had a cyano outbreak, algae bloom, lost coral, and a fish. Now I've got things on a schedule, thanks to my apex and guidance from a few good buddies. Kept the factory lights but added an LED strip in the splash guard.

Nice mini timeline!
