Xmetal's 14G Holdover Biocube

xmetalfan99 · Apr 20, 2012

Unfortunately, I had to tear down my 75 and sell most of my coral for a few months. I had to have a tank though. I was given a 14G biocube and decided to fiddle around with that until i was able to set up my 60G cube in August.

It is a pretty simply set up with no controllers, ATOs, dosing pumps, or anything that could be considered a gadget. I miss my gadgets. However, i did decide to install an LED retrofit kit from rapid led to replace the point of sale PC lighting the tank comes with. I purchased the plug-n-play kit and I really don't think it was to plug-n-play.

All photos are 30% blue/uv and 20% white/red

Looks pretty good there buddy. Did you have to sell the frag you had sitting aside for me?

Thank you. I am anxiously awaiting the winners.

I had a royal blue led go out that I have been needing to replace.

Rev, I went on an acan run at the last swap I was at due to the forced downgrade. I had a huge 4"x5"x6" tyree pink lemonade reserved for $50 but had to back out due to absolutely no room for it. I was bummed big time.
