My First Reef Tank! Biocube 32

[luis angel]

Build Thread Introduction:

Well, I had not planned to do this build thread yet but a friend, @ESABOE, convinced me to do it and here we are! A buddy gave me this tank 7 months ago, a Biocube 32. I kept all the original Coralife equipment; however, I upgraded the light to an AI Prime 16, the powerhead to an AI Nero 3 to increase flow, and an ATO

Here is a picture of the tank on the day I brought it home on 9/10/23.

I have quite a few updates and photos to share; so stay tuned!

You have created a wonderful lil reef already and I’m glad we all get to enjoy it as well!

What’s the white block in the back right upper corner?

Is that just the scraper or something else?

Those look great! If you look at my old posts on my Biocube it just might give you the itch of what’s possible!!

It is a scraper, but I updated that one for a nano flipper float!

Just my recommendation - don't keep it in the tank when not in use. You heard my story, right?

I didn't know, I've been reading your tank thread but I haven't gotten to that part yet.

Which thread? I've got 4. Actually maybe 6 or 7...

The current 2 threads don't have that issue. In my old 75 I had a nasty GHA outbreak. I didn't d 2 doses of Flux and left ta of water changes. Finally found out the magnet was rusting, removed it and the GHA went away almost overnight.
