I've using distilled water in my biocube for about 6 months now. No major issues as of yet, some algae breakouts here and there But I'm ready to get an ro/di unit. I've been looking at the spectapure 90gpd refurb unit for $125 and the bulk reef supply value system for $130. The seem pretty...

Maybe a stupid question but... I've been using distilled water in my biocube for about 6 months, but thought I would try the RO/DI water from the LFS since everyone tells my how much better it is. Anywho... I got it home and cracked open the jug and it smells like... well... aquarium water...

I've had a biocube 29 set up for a little under 6 months now and everything is going well. 1 Clown, 1 sixline, 1 yellow watchman goby with a pistol shrimp. 1 Duncan coral and 1 blastomossa coral. Coraline algae had started growing nicely on all of the rocks but I am starting to notice that the...

It's taking over!!

I woke up yesterday morning to discover one of my clowns has disappeared without a trace. After tearing apart the tank I've determined he died sometime in the night and my nessarius snails made short work of the body. The two clowns had been in the tank for about three months and were looking...

Hi, I've been considering the Drs Foster Smith Portable refractometer, does anyone have experience with this one? How does it compare to more expensive models? I tried to do some googling but I can't seem to find a brand name. Drs foster smith also sells a VitalSine refractometer but is...

I'm new to the hobby but have ready many places how important it is to quarantine fish before adding to your tank. I only have a 29g biocube but I went ahead and got the supplies to set up a 10 gallon quarantine Small heater, sponge with air pump for filtration, thermometer and small light. I...

I have a new tank with 2 ocelaris clowns. They've been in there about a month and the larger of the two is getting very aggressive. If I have to put my hand in the tank for whatever reason she freaks out and nips at me. I'm wondering if it will be on to add new fish to this tank. I would like...

Very strange... I witnessed something crawl out of one of my rocks and puff out these white bubbles. I know pictures help but i was so enthralled watching this odd creature I forgot to whip out my phone before it slithered back in to the rock. I don't know how to describe it...Looked like a tube...

Hi, Has anyone outfitted their nano tanks with a kit from either of these companies? Or perhaps a different company altogether. I have a 29g biocube that gets really warm, 83 degrees+, with the stock lighting. I've been looking in to both of these LED kits to try to keep temps down and was...

Have a 29g coralife biocube. Will a BTA be ok in here under the stock lighting. I've heard differing opinions and was wondering if someone could speak from experience. Thanks! D

Found this guy on my rock, he is a hitchhiker as I've added nothing but rock and sand at this point. He's really small maybe 1/8". Wasn't able to I'd him using the hitchhiker guide so what do you guys think. Picture is a little blurry. Sorry

I am setting up a new biocube 29. Put some live sand and live rock in there. I dropped a raw shrimp in there tonight to help cycle the tank and found this worm crawling on the shrimp just now. Should I be worried about this species?? Looks like a fire worm maybe? Any info would be great. Thanks

Never really knew I wanted an aquarium until I was in the fish store this weekend and bought the biocube 29 on a whim. It's been a bit daunting trying to get this set up and learning everything that is involved as I knew absolutely nothing about the hobby. As of right now I have mixed the salt...
