Hey Everyone,
Couldn't give up on a great price on a biocube. Always thought of trying a biocube as it looks very unique. Ive done freshwater for about 5 years and salt for 2 years. So now Im thinking of going back to salt but this time on a smaller system which I have heard are harder to control. The system Im buying already comes with one of the upgrades in filtration from www.mediabaskets.com and now Im considering a tunze 9002 skimmer or refuge or more media not sure.
Im trying to think of ideas on what to stock it with would like opinions from members who have a similar size tank or especially an oceanic biocube.
My idea of stocking is as follows:
29 Gallon Bio Cube with Stock Lighting and Upgrade Filtration
After cycling the tank with ammonia drops dry rocks will be added and so on...
Fish:
1x McCoskers Flasher Wrasse
1x Pair Of Clownfish
1x Purple Firefish
1x Scooter Blenny or Mandarin (Eventually after months of tank has been established or find an ORA Mandarin)
Inverts:
-Hermits
-Snailsno turbos
-Nass Snails
-Rose Bubble Tip or other hardy clownfish friendly anemone depends on lighting OR Can rely on a coral to host
-Cleaner Shrimp
Corals:
Soft:
-Mushrooms
-Toadstool
-Zoa
Lps:
-Frogspawn or hammer or both
-Brain Coral
Sps:
-Pink Birds Nest
-Red Montipora
Very open to suggestions as well as changes.
Questions:
-The only thing I really hate about the biocube is its power compact lights. Do you think the system will be able to handle the corals mentioned especially the sps corals mentioned? The sps corals mentioned are apparent some of the hardiest ones as well as well as don't need as much light as other sps.
-Whats your opinion, Tunze Skimmer 9002 with upgraded cup or refuge or extra media personally I want to go with skimmer.
-How does the fish stock look? Can I add another small fish or two?
-What would you recommend a water change schedule for this tank was thinking of 5 gallon water changes bi weekly? With reef crystal salt or Nutriwater (if cheap)
-Any way to upgrade the lights with out spending a fortune?
-Best test kit, I always used API?
Thanks
Anyone have a oceanic biocube post pics will help as well as what kind of corals have you been able to grow in it
