Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[Katrina71]

I use a jebao DCP 4000 on the 93 cube and it's turned down.

Plenty of headroom

What would you use?

I run triton. Almost a year in and it’s fine. My LFS icp is near on point. I’m planning on doing a icp from triton. Also triton doesn’t mean water changes. My first icp was through them and it told me 5 water changes of 15%.

Honestly not afraid of it.
Just seems like more numbers to chase.

i would run the jebao 4000 i have now and will sue on my 40 breeder.

If the pump you have is quiet, given its rated volume, I would use it. I hear good things about sicce pumps.

But I really like my 4000. Dead quiet and really loves the water efficiently. Low power draw

 

[Katrina71]

I don't have a pump yet.

succumb to the jebao draw...

 

[Katrina71]

I'm cool with jebao.

I'm cool with jebao.

just dont use a jebao dosing pump. i use mostly jebao everything, but the dosing pump sucks.

My Jebao DP-2 has worked great. It is very easy to use.

lemme revise what ive said earlier, triton method doesnt mean NO WATER CHANGES. Water Changes are necessary when keeping a reef. Triton method actually advises you do a water change sometimes. Heres a pic of my triton method sump: Now i will say that triton doesnt recommend a DSB in sump but i run one becasue well.... im an idiot.

deep sand bed

Ok. I was wondering...I knew you could use miracle mud, but never seen sand in one.

I’m a jeabo 5000 in the 55 3/4 up. Sometimes more.

4000 or 5000 , whatever is cheaper.
Amazon and eBay has odd pricing.
My two dosers , dp2 & dp3 were the same price.
Sicce has dc as well, no idea of the price.

IMO only reason to go variable dc is the overflow rating question, and it’s a good tweak for any unknown reasons.
