To start things off, my build thread is about a 29g BioCube.

I've had my cube up and running for about 4 months I would say. I bought it third hand, but hey, gotta start somewhere. I am running it as a reef tank, with a couple of inhabitants.

This is the equipment that I currently have set up with my cube:
29g BioCube tank/stand
32g BioCube hood system
Coralife BioCube protein skimmer
inTank refugium rack (inTank media rack to come)
Stock return pump that will be upgraded to Sicce 1.5 silent as i think my return pump is failing.
FreeSea 75W Mini Aquarium Fish Tank Heater with LED Temperature Display

Testing kits include:
IceCap Salinity/Temp tester
Red Sea Nitrate/Nitrite Kit
API Saltwater Test Kit
Red Sea Foundation Pro Ca KH Mg Test Kit

Livestock currently includes:
Diamond Goby
Lawnmower Blenny
Black Storm Clownfish
(Six Line Wrasse to come)

I know it isn't much in the way of the reef life, but i have gotten much enjoyment out of watching my fish and corals grow. I will soon be taking on the task of custom building a 72g bowfront tank, but that's for another thread. ;)

Thank you for stopping by, I welcome any and all advice, criticism, or opinions. Happy Reefing!

In entry to the "Built Like a Tunze" giveaway:

Since I have a BioCube, my filtration system is subpar, but I would use the Tunze 9410 DOC Skimmer in my 72g reef tank that I am building!
 
I love seeing what people can do with a biocube! It sounds like your off to an awesome start- following!

Only criticism so far is a lack of pics- I know it says they are coming but R2R members pretty much have no patience when it comes to photos ;Hilarious
