http://www.reefcorner.com/SpecimenSheets/bristleworm.htm Here is a little info on bristle worms

I do know don't touch it bare handed though.

I suppose personal opinion, some say bad some say you can leave them. Your LFS will sell a bristle worm trap, I've just left it in my 8g biocube. I do think that some types of fish will eat them. Although I'm not an expert on them. It was my first hitchhiker in my tank and I was super excited...

I agree 100%. That's my next purchase. Make darn sure you have a QT tank set up for when you do get fish. I didn't an now I have ICH in my tank from my hawkfish. About the biocube there is tons to do with them. They are the jeep of fish tanks . Haha

Bristleworm? Google image it and see if that's it. They are super hitchikers, everytime I've gotten LR I've got them.

Go to www.reefcleaners.com they will give u a good idea of how many CUC per gallon tank.

Looks awesome. As for the back chambers and media. Here is a suggestion on the way I set mine up. I have had perfect water parameters with it ran this way, as long as I do my weekly water changes.

I just recently purchased a hawkfish and now have noticed the all to familiar white" sand/salt" spots on him. I plan on moving him to a QT tank but I can't catch his little fast butt. Any ideas how to wrangle him to catch him. Luckily, he is the only fish I have in the tank. I just don't really...

Have you gone to the " biocube resource guide" on nano reefers. If not I highly suggest you take an hour and read it. It's like 40 pages of a message board. http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=180788

No it's a simple ole underwater light for the " Cheato " to grow. It allows it to grow. Cheato is a macro algae and will help reduce your nitrates an will also help maintain copepods. You can introduce them and they will help seed the fuge and create tons of copepods for the fish and multilple...

I've been running everything in it for around 2 weeks now and my parameters are beautiful. Ph.....8.2 Ammonia.....0 Nitrites......0 Nitrates....... .5 Plus it is nice and silent, everything is thriving so far

If you run the fuge basket with the chaeto and underwater light you really have no need for a skimmer. It's common practice to use one or the other, just depends on what tickles your fancy LOL. I ordered the media basket and fuge basket as a kit for like 89.00 then I ordered all the media for it...

As you can see the water level is up high so cover the media basket. Here is a great photo, so you can see how the back will look if you add the media basket and fuge and the different types of filter media to add to the basket.

Don't worry about the min/max water line. Fill it up till its quiet, that's what I did till I got my media basket and fuge basket. It will go quiet

I actually love my maxi jet over the stock pump. I know alot of people go ahead and switch it out, it is less noisy and it produces more flow inwhich can help the heat issue as well.

If your unhappy with the pump, a replacement oceanic biocube is gonna run you 45-50 bucks. What I did before I ever added water was take my oceanic pump out and added a maxi jet 1200 to increase my flow. I have no problem with the sound of it. Just a suggestion

A good reference is www.liveaquaria.com, it gives a list of all types of fish for nano tanks. I have a hawkfish in my biocube 29 and he is super happy. My wife named him pudge cause he is a little fatty.

Sounds like the drop to 68 degrease could have done it, I know they can handle slight fluctuations in temp. The heater unplugged may be the culprit to the problem.

When your ammonia and nitrates and nitrites are reading Zero it will be safe to add your CUC. It will be hard to keep down the nitrates, just remember to do your weekly water changes of about 5-10%. It's just gonna take some time to cycle, just keep checking your water parameters and keep the...

Clean Up Crew. My Biocube 29 has been setup and cycling since the 15 of Dec. I haven't even put my Clean Up Crew in yet. I'm in no hurry and gonna take is super slow to get the best stability. Have u checked all your water parameters?

Sounds like green hair algae. A CUC will help with that and the brownish sad discoloration is a diatom outbreak, that means that the cycle is moving along. I'm in that stage now with mine.

Do you have a refractometer to test the salinity of the RO water and your tank water. It Could be to big of a shift on the salt ppm. To be more precise, what is all of your water parameters? ie PH Calcium, nitrates, Nitrites, Ammonia? That maybe will give a good idea of what's going on.

Hey y'all, I am performing a fishless cycle. Last night was the first water check I've performed. The live rock I had used came from a established fowler tank. Should I add a piece of table shrimp or just wait. I am now starting to grow hair algae everywhere with no lights on for 2 weeks. Thanks...

Santa Claus delivered a new API drip solution master marine test kit. I have had my biocube 29 set up for about 2 weeks. I have a question on my test results. Ammonia.......0 Nitrites............0 Nitrates............20. Am I still in cycle? Thanks for the help.
