Krzydmnd Biocube 32

Krzydmnd · Oct 1, 2017

Hi folks. Just signed up as a subscribed member. I'm new to reefing and have had my biocube 32 running for about 3 months now and am totally addicted.

I found a great, trustworthy LFS store and have really enjoyed my experience with the hobby so far.

Pic of tank as of today... Some of the SPS I recently added are still waiting to be placed.

Welcome to R2R! Nice work on the tank. That green monti looks sweet, that's gonna be a killer piece once it grows out.

Also started my tank several months ago. Looking for advice on a good chamber setup.

Picked up this pair today... Along with a mccosker's wrasse and a purple firefish both of which are camera shy atm. And a little Sunkist bounce frag.

What light are you using. I have found the stock light is rather white.

Ranjib · Oct 22, 2017

32G might be little small for the wrasse,
ricordia looks awesome

Steve's led upgrade. Wayyy better than the stock lights.

Just got the same stevesled upgrade but I am struggling to get any corals to grow in 32, despite great water parameters. What lighting schedule are you using? I am at 40% blue and 25% white on 12 hour with 90 minute ramp up and down.

I have my blues up to 65 and whites at 20i think for peak daytime . 12 hour schedule with same ramps

That's a pretty good selection of frags. you have quit a few nice pieces in there. It's goign look awesome!
The orange one five over from the right, looks like it may be a Leptastrea coral. If it is, It can be a slow grower but will look pretty cool once it settles in.

65 blue much higher than I thought I should be at, was afraid to melt Zoas I got but they never opened anyway. I like your selection of corals and your tank looks awesome BTW!

Its called Lucky Charms Leptastrea. I actually accidentally fed it last night while feeding the chalice and it snagged a big piece of dried shrimp. It actually ate the whole thing! I was really surprised.

I've added a bunch of new frags over the past few months and everything is doing well! Still looks like a frag tank because, well, it is. Anything on a plug is still waiting to be placed permanently but I'm getting closer.

Most recently Added...
Sunkist Bounce
Orange Yuma
Sunset milli

Gonna slow down on the SPS and let them grow out but I'd like to get acans, favia or something else to place on the sandbed now. I'm just not sure how into zoa I am. Probably because I know I'll go overboard ($$$) with them lol!

I also just added a Falco Hawkfish and he's promptly being moved back to the 10g QT as soon as I can catch him. Hess been in the DT for about 4 days and is harassing both firefish more and more each day.

I like him, but they were here first.
