Brandon's BioCube 29
This is my current "larger" tank (I also have a 7.5 cube) that is a downgrade from the 40 breeder system i just sold off. It is probably somewhat temporary until i figure out exactly what i want and get a new permanent (at least for a couple of years) 40 to 90 gallon system. I picked this up back in late October (2011) from my brother in law, who had already modified it a little with a Nano Tuners 4x20w t5vho retro + 1 pcr, InTank media basket, aquaticlife skimmer, and gutted back chambers.
Tank: BioCube 29 topless with stand
Lighting: FishNeedIt 150w hqi pendant with a Phoenix 14000K bulb
JBJ 9w power compact 50/50 clamp on over fuge section (from my old picotope)
Filtration: 1st section- Aquaticlife mini 115 skimmer
2nd section- InTank media basket with filter floss, Purigen, and Chemi-pure Elite
InTank fuge basket with chaetomorpha
Display- around 30- 40 lbs of live rock and 30 lbs of livesand (20 lbs caribsea oolite, 10 lbs caribean reef grade)
Flow: Maxi-Jet 1200 return pump
Korralia Nano 260gph
Korralia Nano 425gph
Other Equipment: Tunze Osmolator auto top off pulling from a standard 5.5 gal res.
Via Aqua 200w heater (way overkill but keeps the temp 77-78 at all times of the day/ night)
Reef Keeper Lite basic with temp probe running lights, return pump, and heater.
Plans: Not sure if I will add or upgrade anymore equipment to this as it is sort of temporary, but I may switch the lighting to led's (probably an in hood retro from Rapid led) or add t5ho's to the current fixture for some better color supplementation. I would also like to swap the Korralias for an MP10es, which i could move to what ever I set up next. I have also been playing with the idea of drilling it and adding a small sump/ fuge in the cabinet.
I'll add more pictures and a list of livestock on another post. Thanks for looking.
