Hello..., I was just curious on what is the best setup for a BioCube 29? I have the BioCube Protein Skimmer in Chamber 1, Stock filter with a mix of crucshed Live Rock and BioBalls in Chamber 2, stock return pump with BioCube UV Light in Chamber 3.

I did away with the bioballs in the second chamber and the stock filter. I replaced the filter with floss and put a bag of chemi-pure elite in the second chamber. I also upgraded the stock pump to add more water flow to the display. I also run the BioCube Skimmer in chamber 1.

Biocubes are kind of quirky:rolleyes: ... what works for one person doesn't necessarily work for someone else.

I run ...

Chamber 1: Aqualife modified skimmer
Chamber 2: Intank Media rack with Filter Floss and Large Biospheres (removed the bioballs) and Intank rack for chaeto
Chamber 3: Upgraded pump

Additional:
Added the Jebao PP Series Wavemaker with Controller (PP-4)
For lighting I have stock lighting with added LEDs in the slots already built in.
