Biocube 32

[HotSpringsReefer]

I was gifted a Biocube 32 a couple months back. This is my first saltwater aquarium experience and I'm hooked.

Current upgrades include Steve's LEDs retrofit, in tank media basket, and a Tunze ATO.

I've got two super bleached RBTA's that I'm hoping to rehab. Three Tri-Color Bubble tip anemones. Two Mini-Maxi carpets anemomes. A small frag of GSP, and two snowflake clown fish.

Here are a couple more shots that I was unable to upload with the original post!

Very easy to manage tank. Just keep up with water quality and you’ll do well

Any problems with water overheating?

Any problems with water overheating?

My temp does stay a little high around 80° with my heater as low as I can take it but its consistent. I'm looking to get a new heater soon

I was debating how to deal with this problem. The corals aren't to happy. Might have to remove the lid if I don't spring for a chiller

Here are a couple more shots from today! I need to invest in some better powerheads as soon as I can afford them. I've got two cheap SunSun Nanos running on a Hydor Wave Pump Controller and they're both dying on me.

Does anyone who runs the Steve's LED Retrofit on a BioCube 32 have any actual PAR readings? What do you have your whites and blues at? I've done a ton of research and read multiple posts without finding much to go off of. I am currently still ramping up a percent or two daily with blues at 35% and whites at 50%.

My son has Steve's. I'll ask him tonight what he has his lights set at. I don't think he has his whites that high. Btw, where are you located?

Cool! I'd appreciate that. I'm in central Arkansas.

Thanks! I had another anemone move around and occupy some more of the center space since I last uploaded a pic.

I am more than happy with them! I don't have any SPS, though, and feel like I'm close to my stopping point with intensity. Hoping to find some more information so I don't upset any of the anemones.

How many snails do you have?

I have 7 in total. All very small. Three turbos, two margaritas, and two nassarius along with 10 small blue leg hermits.
