New to tanks. Bio cube tank.

[ericacurtis]

I’m new to tanks but my brother gave me his 29 gallon bio cube tank. I just have the aquarium and have to buy all new stuff. I still have to do research as I know nothing about tanks or more specifically saltwater tanks but am planning on a reef tank with a couple clownfish. Before I start I want to make sure I do my research and know how to care for it. Where do I start? I need to find out what all I need( heater, filter, etc) and all the tips on testing/care/maintenance of the tank? Anyone have any book or website recommendations? I have no idea where to start.

Biocubes are a great way to begin reefing! That's where our journey began.
Thankfully, our Local Fish Store had great advice on how to cycle a 14-gallon Biocube.
Taking your time and researching will pay off in the end.

Just posted in this thread.

Welcome, glad you are here! Biocube 32g here. I highly recommend watching BRS 52 weeks of reefing on YouTube and purchase and read this book written by a member on here. Best of luck!
