Coralife Biocube 29 recommendation.

Jordan berry · Jul 13, 2015

I just bought one of these yesterday.
On order:

Jebao rw-4
Jager 100w heater
2 white led accents and 2 blue
Tunze 9004 skimmer
Intank media basket
Tunze 3252 ato

I know the lights should be upgraded but I figured I would use those for now since I have my 90 gallon long to fill up that is set up for sps. There is guys on another website that says they have the media basket and the skimmer in chamber 2 with the ato in chamber 3. Let's hope I can get it to fit... do you guys recommend any other equipment or will this be a good set up?

Never heard of the 9004 skimmer being used most people use the tunze 9001, 9002 models. I personally run the intank media basket in the middle chamber with the tunze 9002 skimmer. Believe it or not I also use the Santa Monica hog.5 ATS in the middle chamber as well. In the left chamber I run a cobalt neotherm 100w skimmer, rio 6hf pump, and my tunze nano ATO. You should be good with that set-up as long as the skimmer fits. BTW those led add-ons do nothing for coral just aesthetics. I filled all my slots up only to turn around and do the rapidled retro kit.

I was told to only run the bulbs for 6 to 8 hours because they grow algy quickly. So I figured the other half of the day I would run those leds for some light to be able to see in. I would put in new leds if it was solder less and preferably had a timer.

They do have a kit that is solder less and you can use the storm controller they offer for timing and other adjustments. I never had problems with the stock bulbs and algae just heat problems. My tank would jump up to 87 degrees.
