Hi! I’ve got a Biocube 32 set up and want some feedback about my filtration.
Right now, I have fish (2 clowns, 2 fire fish), clean up crew (cleaner shrimp, emerald crab, small hermits, various snails), and a few softie corals. Algae is minimal, have some coralline coming in. No ammonia or nitrite. Nitrate is 5-ish (API testing).
Chamber 1: Coralife protein skimmer, heater
Chamber 2 (stacker in the chamber): Biocube filter cartridge, Chemipure Blue, Aquamaxx Biopellets (probably not tumbling), live rock
Chamber 3: Return pump
My parameters are good and stable now. Am I missing anything? Is this overkill? What’s up with biopellets? What happens if they aren’t tumbling? Thanks!
