Hello, I've had a great biocube 29 for 5 years. Added so much to it. Recently my pump failed (I know, I Should've replaced it years ago) and I lost everything. Thinking of upgrading. A lot of my equipment would transfer. Should I go 120 (48x24x24) or a 150 (60x24x24). Would the 12...

Magnesium 1400 PH- 8.2 lights off, 8.4 lights on SG- 1.025 Calcium 445 KH- 8.0 Biocube 29- chaeto and carbon in chamber 2. I've been trying to keep KH at around 9.5, but it kept dropping so I kept increasing the dosing schedule on my reefkeeper. at one time it was 9.3, but then it crept...

Okay, a few weeks ago my new green walled hammer had brown jelly disease so I dipped it and other than the new empty spot it was fine. It has been opening up and looks awesome under my LED's. But lately I've noticed daily it get smaller and smaller. Seems polyps are disappearing daily from...

Ok, I'm kind of confused about the last step. See the pics below. Instructions say to pull the syringe until the lower black part is at 1.0 ml. There is an air bubble and then the liquid actually starts at .825 ml. I dripped it until the color changed, and the black part was at .15 ml...

BRS says to dose in area of high flow. I am setting up a timer with tubes. Which chamber is best? First chamber has a skimmer and heater, but has good flow. 2nd chamber has chaeto and carbon. Third chamber has a temp and ph probe, ato, and the return pump. That would take it right into the...

I check my kh the other day and it was 5. I don't know how long it took to get there. After some tests it seems the tank loses .5 each day. My question is, could there be a point where the kh won't drop anymore? If it drops to 5 and you left it alone, would it be possible to drop to 2 or 1...

I'm so confused. The hammer is doing so well right next to it. What's wrong with the frogspawn??? It was originally higher up to the left of the hammer, I moved it yesterday since it wasn't happy. I've had it two years and now it's acting up. I just changed to LED, but it was like this...

Just upgraded to leds, because I want better growth and a few sps and a clam. Ive had a pretty successful two years, although I've lost a coral here and there. Question, is a ph monitor necessary? I was thinking about the reefkeeper light with upgrade from marine depot. China with a ph and...

Just got this on Friday for my biocube 29. Changed to LED s the next day and I'm slowly acclimating the tank. It was puffed up the first two days but now it looks like this. Maybe the lights are too dim and need to be raised? It's not inflating like it was SG- 1.025 Nitrate- 0-5 Phos- 0-...

So today I raised the kh from 5-11 with a powder buffer. I want to maintain it with my fresh auto top of water. Question is should I add the buffer to the container to maintain it or will kalkwasser be a better option?? Obviously I know kalkwasser will maintain calcium also. So which...

So I ordered an led kit from proled supply. I am receiving a 90 watt strip of blues and whites and also another 78 watt strip of blues, whites, 3 greens, and a pink. Question is what strip should I use ? They both have dimmers. Would the 90 watt be overkill ? Would the 78 watt bring out...

Hello, my biocube is two years old and I love it. Corals are doing great. Getting an led dyi kit, and just wanted to know if a 90 watt kit would be overkill. I know I will have to run it at 20 or 30 % So my corals won't bleach. I just want my lps to grow faster, and maybe get some other...

I should've chipped away at this when it was a small amount. It's all over that middle rock. Problem is, I have a favia on it. What can I do? Chip have the rock off? Please help

What can I with all these mushrooms. Started with one, and now they are multiplying like crazy. Can I cut them off with a blade from the stem and sell them? Will cutting them from the stem kill them?

Don't know what's going on. Parameters are perfect. Nitrate 0, calcium 460, kh is 6 trying to raise it. There is Brown algae on my zoas, they won't open anymore. Now my lps won't open to much. Salt level 1.025. What's going on??? I did three days of darkness and the dino dissapeared...

Just got a sunny D frag. 5 polyps for $18. What is the best placement ? Have it on the sand bed now. Biocube 29 stock lighting. I was thinking of gluing it more towards the top. But if I don't have to that would be great.

Can't seem to find anyone living in Pasadena who sells Frags from their home. Found a few in Covina and Alhambra, but does anyone know anybody in Pasadena? There has to be at least 1. Can't find them on craigslist.

This red algae has been growing in this one spot. I tried to pull it out and got some out, but it's very rooted in there, unlike green hair algae. What is it and what will eat it? Or should I take the rock out and pull the algae out with something Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk

My tank is 11 months old and it is a biocube 29 bare bottom with at least 30 pounds of live rock. Last night I added some Dry Caribea Aragonite sand (I need to add more today). My question is how long will it take for it to become live? And how long can I wait to buy a sea star and other...

Ok this weird strand is growing next to my leather coral. Looks like it's a similar color to the coral. Is it a baby?? Look at the pic-- right next to the coral--left side

Royal gramma had some tail damage a few weeks ago, then had a cloudy eye, which went away. He ate a lot, but then suddenly I saw him dead last Saturday and one eye looked like it had popped. On Monday I noticed my flamehawkfish had a cloudy eye. I did a water change and waited. The next day...

Cant seem to have success with bubbles. First one lasted a good month and then quickly went bad. 2nd one was good for a few days and started looking worse each day. Now it looks like this. Nitrates have been hovering near 40 lately, but I'm working on that and all the other corals are doing...

So I finally trapped and returned the awesome South African flameback angel I had (started nipping at coral heavily!). So now I am looking for another fish. Biocube 29. I currently have 2 clowns, a purple firefish, and a small red flamehawkfish. I really want a very colorful fish that will...

My angel that I got a month ago is nipping at a few coral and I just don't want to lose anything. Too fast to catch with a net. Built the fish trap with a plastic bottle today but it wouldn't go anywhere near it. Should I try again? Help!!! One more thing, lets say I catch it at night, when...

I don't want to spend $50 on the jbj light, and I don't want the underwater bulb because of heat issues. I only have a few inches of space in the back so that rules out the cfl bulb. So I found this led strip on amazon, would it work? It's about 5 inches long, and has a 5100 k rating...
