Upgrade to 60g cube from 29g biocube

Grabers16 · Mar 13, 2015

I bought a 60g biocube from a friend to upgrade from my 29g biocube. We are in the process of building a custom stand for it. I have a 20 gallon aquarium I am using for my sump/refugium. I ordered 40lbs of Tahitian Moon Reef & Marine Substrate and 40lbs of Arag-Alive Hawaiian Black 0.25-3.5mm. I plan on taking all the live rock from my 29g to the 60. I am looking for a good deal on dry rock, or a reliable source for some more live rock. Also trying to decide on a skimmer and what to put in the refugium. I have a softball sized hunk of cheato in the back of my biocube I plan on transferring. I also have matrix in a hob filter on the biocube, the matrix has only been on there for a few weeks though, would the matrix be beneficial to put in the refugium of the 60g? I will post pics of the stand and tank as we build it. Any tips/recommendations are much appreciated.

I got my Dry Rocks from Reefcleaners months ago; no issues and shipping is free.

Thanks! I love the look of their rock, and from what they say it sounds like it shouldn't create a cycle. Since I have to take down the 29 to put up the 60g I am trying to be careful of this.
