Boyts 29G Biocube HQI.

[NU2REEFIN]

I finally decided to take the time to start a tank thread. I started with a 14g Biocube in August of 2009 with the misconceptions that "the lights are fine", "the tank is big enough" etc.etc.etc. I upgrade to the 29g Biocube HQi in September of 2010 and love it. Now to the tank, pics taken with I-Phone sorry.

I like it!! I want to put a mp10 on my BC 29 but idk 220 or up is a lot of money for a powerhead. Is it worth it?

I did the air tube mod to it and it works great. Here is a picture of the second day after I installed it.
