Greenturtle's Biocube 29 Build Thread!!!

[Greenturtle]

I am so excited! I finally ordered my Biocube 29, stand, and other supplies! They should arrive on November 15-18. I have researched all of this for so long it is not even funny. I am modding it so that i take out everything in the second chamber and make a fuge. I am having bags of carbon, chemipure elite, and purigen.

Once I have the tank running, I am ordering 20 lbs of Pukani Dry Rock and 30 lbs of Aragonite. And then the cycle begins...


My eventual stocklist will be:

2 B&W Clownfish
1 Yellow Watchman Goby
1 Green Clown Goby

I would also like 2 fire shrimp with my CUC, corals, and you can't forget the Green BTA :}


Once I have the refugium set up for a while and a pod population, I will try for a blue mandarin. But that is in the distant future LOL.

This is not my first reef tank, so I know the rules/regulations I have a 90 gallon reef in my living room. And numerous freshwater communities.

Any comments are welcome!!! Thanks for reading!

Are you getting the Ora mandarin? I've been considering that.

Are you getting the Ora mandarin? I've been considering that.

If I can find a cheap one. I would prefer an ORA, but a wild one may have to suffice if I can't find an ORA one for $60 or less in a few months.

 

[SwimsWithFish]

Yeah there a lot!

 

[Jarvo]

Sounds awesome can't wait to see some pics.

For some reason the stand arrived today. Nothing else. Well at least I have time to set up the stand before the tank gets here already got the doors set up.

After 2+ hours on my Earth Science paper, this seems fun.

 

[redsea]

Cool, have fun building!

 

[Greenturtle]

Finished the stand. Looks awesome. I think I have every color of furniture in my room now. Light brown chair, dark brown bed posts, reddish brown desk, white desk chair. And now a black fish tank stand. Any internal designer would kill me haha.

Not really. They had nice directions.

 

[redsea]

Not really. They had nice directions.

That's good.

Even then it would still be hard for me to put something together,

 

[Jlsardina]

Woohoo. Awesome. Now the sit and wait game for the cycle. Lol

 

[Greenturtle]

The tank still hasn't come yet. I saw a few really small boxes but I didn't have time to open them. I am at my brothers basketball practice. Probably the skimmer, heater, or one of the other 6 small things I ordered with the tank. :/ it's killing me knowing there is something at home.

 

[SwimsWithFish]

Haha I know what you meen.

 

[Greenturtle]

Everything EXCEPT THE TANK came today. Skimmer, power head, heater, media bags, carbon, purigen, and chemipure elite.
