New to the hobby setting up a new tank in the next few months.

So many mixed reviews/opinions on dry or live. I've used both and I do have a preference but that's really a personal choice.

Just remember, don't rinse live sand, but rinse, rinse, and rinse dry sand until the water is clear before adding to the DT.

If you add 10 lbs of true ocean live rock to your system it will propagate all that life into your dry Tonga branches and sand. Here are 3 locations to get them:

https://www.tbsaltwater.com/index.html
Tbsaltwater will only same day airfreight which means you will have to drive to the airport to pick up from the airfreight terminal. My nearest terminal is 2 hours away so I probably won't be going that route. Maybe your local airport is on the list.

@Matt Carden @Captain Quint really appreciate you guys sharing the info making life a whole lot easier. Matt are these places the ones that sell the aquacultered rock ?

Welcome to R2R! Sounds like you have lots of good plans in the making! I love cube tanks -- I have never had one, but those on the forum who do, have some lovely reefs. Be certain to get a build thread started when you make that first purchase.

Welcome! You came to the right site! ASK MANY QUESTIONS!

!!! Welcome to R2R @GritCity Reef !!! I got live rocks from kpaquatics and TBsaltwater and those are real live rock loaded with a few good critters.

 

[GritCity Reef]

@Salty Lemon yes will be starting a build thread as soon as I have the money together to start making my purchases. @Neo Jeo yes I plan on having a million questions once i start setting up. @spyder813 appreciate the knowledge will look into those places for sure.

Welcome to the reef! Your plan sounds great! I have a 60 cube and love it. Mine is 24x24x24. I use one Radion xr15 gen 4 pro and it looks great. Now that my parameters are stable, stuff grows like wildfire. There is a forum on this sight dedicated to cube lovers that you might want to check out. I actually have 3 cubes... the 60, a 32 Biocube and a Fluval M40 cube. We love them. My next tank will be what you have I think.....
