Coralife Biocube 29

I did a water change and had to move the rock work for better flow. What do you think?

Nice aquascape!
FYI, once you get fish and such in there and start feeding you will need to use a turkey baster or something to blow around and in the aquascape, not much openings for flow.

Nice tank!! I have same one!! Wats your filteration set up!?

Thank you! I took out the bio balls and took out the sponge between chamber 2-3. I left the filter pad tray in chamber 2. I am only 3.5 weeks in so I just did my first water change and added purigen and chemipure elite. I also started with 25lbs of cured live rock, 20 lbs of live sand, and 20 gallons of ocean water (20 is all that would fit after my rocks)
I had a "soft cycle" as some would say.

So far so good!

What made you decide to go rimless? Just curious. And how does that powerhead placement do with flow? How long has it been running? Any algae blooms yet?

 

[Albz]

Well its not really rimless just took the hood off cause i saw the prime leds had great reviews and got one for dirt cheap. And that powerhead there is alright now but im still cycling so no life stock to really know. I also got another powerhead that will go in there when tank is cycled and i move me livestock from my bc14 to this. Its been running for like a week so far and only tiny bit of algea. Im thinkin to upgrade the return pump too.. If he dont have leds on urs, make that upgrade when u can! Def one of the best upgrades for this tank
