BIOCUBE CALLOUT!!

Salty.Reefer · Dec 5, 2016

This is my BioCube from high school. It was my very first set up and I had no clue about forums like R2R all the information I ever got was from a couple KFS owners and a book. It was an aqua Euro metal halid 34 gallon. Super easy for a beginner because everything is ready to go out of the box.
Now I know better to put some of those fish into such a small tank. Haha on the other hand R2R has caused my addiction to increase dramatically. Its like AA but they show you all the best places to get alcohol!
2010-2012 (maybe early 2013)

No, my LFS keeps it on hand. It's aquacultured and similar to the BRS Reef Saver. Got it covered in coralline which I've never done before and is so far pest free.

Thanks! I'm so far very happy with it, much more so than the Caribsea Life Rock I used in my larger tank. Not too much in there yet. An Acan that I'm trying to bring back from an accident in my larger tank, a little GSP, a couple shrooms and 3 fish.

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.
