Good Morning all,
Starting up a new 29 gallon Coralife BioCube. Removed the bioballs in chamber 2 and put in dead pukani rock rubble in an eggcrate basket and a Hydor Slim Skim Nano Skimmer. Have an Aqueon Pro 100W Heater in Chamber one and the standard return pump. Put 35 lbs of SeaChem's mixed agrogate dry sand and more dead pukani rock that I scaped and glued with reefsafe apoxy. Started the cycling process with Dr Tim's One and Only Nitrifying Bacteria and the Ammonia Chloride from his website. I am the first one to try this method of cycling in my area and club, so I am blazing a new path. Following the guidelines on thier website to make sure cycle is happening properly. Once the cycle is complete in about 2 or so weeks, I will add the clean up crew and then slowly add the fish. Going to have 2 B & W Oscellaris Clownfish, a orange spotted gobby, flame angel and skunk cleaner shrimp. I will add some Macro Algae and some sand from a local reefer's tank to help populate pods and such. In a few months the idea is to add some Mushrooms and Zoanthids.
Here are some pics of the set up and the tank. Will keep yall updated as I move forward.
