Setting up 16 gal Coralife BioCube

[William Morris]

Coming back to the reef after many years in planted tanks.
Looking for advise on:

1. Heaters
2. Protein Skimmers that will work inside the BioCube
3. Wavemaker if needed
4. Anything else I maybe overlooking

Have a local store that has the rock, saltwater, coral, etc.

Thanks for any help.

Tunze makes a skimmer that fits the Biocube’s I believe. Hopefully you got the biocube with the LED top because from my experience the older style was impossible to keep under 82 degrees with the lights on. As far as heaters it’s kinda your preference because there are a lot of decent ones out there, I prefer the ehiem heaters but never had a problem with Fluval and marineland heaters. If you do get a powerhead/wave maker you gonna wanna get the smallest ones they make since it’s only a 16 gallon. Just search Biocube on eBay and you can see all the options(uv filters, refugium, lighting, media chambers). Good luck with everything
