Biocube 32 help!

[Logan95]

Hi got a biocube 32 and looking for all opinions for upgrades and I’ve never had an aio tank so any advice on that would be wonderful, the tank was drilled for a sump so looking for best options to plug the whole to make it aio again!

If its glass, clean the hell out of the inside and silicon a glass piece...OR if you will have room in the back, just plug it with a bulk head and cap

 

[FUNGI]

what ever the bulkhead size is...

 

[Logan95]

Oh where do you find those bulkheads?

 

[FUNGI]

try LFS or amazon....HD & Lowes dont have them...i tried them already in the past....but Ace might and my local DIY has them.....doesn't even need a proper plus....just a small pvc to fit and regular pvc cap...glued in

Awesome! I like the slimmer looking design of those. Any recommendations for return pumps and protein skimmers?

 

[FUNGI]

I favor Sicce for all my pumps. Depending on how much room i nteh back, I would buy a HOB skimmer (versus the AIO versions). I would look at buying a used eshopps PSK75 (or 100). Set and forget...but most important, super quiet and sicce pump.

I have the AI axis pump for mine and I'm happy with it. Mobius app reduces it to 1% for feeding time. I suggest the HOB skimmer as well, there's limited/valuable space in these tanks and the one that Coralife sells for the bio cube was crap (for me).
