Hello all,
After about a year of researching and deciding how I wanted to go about this new adventure, I finally made the plunge and picked up a Oceanic Biocube 29(I know its the older version, but I got too good of a deal on it) in November 2015.
A little about myself. My name is Scott, i'm 34, and I'm from Nashville, Tn.
Tank details:
Oceanic Biocube 29
*1st bay- 100w heater
*2nd bay- x2 lrg eshopps sump filters w/ floss on top. 1 L of Seachem Matrix
*3rd bay- Rio 6HF pump, and 100ml purigen and 100ml Matrix Carbon
In Display:
20lbs Caribsea aragalive sand
18lbs dry rock
12lbs live rock
Green killing machine UV Sterilizer
Koralia Hydor Nano power head
Koralia Hydor 1 power head
Lights:
Stock moon lights
Modified hood for Chinese MR60 led lights(cheap, I know. But better than stock cf's.) Will be upgrading to a kessil A 160we soon!

Yes, there are a couple. The most popular by far is Aquatic Critter and then the other is Emerald Bay fish and reptile. Though both have fish and reptiles. If you need help finding them just let me know
