Hopefully you have a good filter running and I really don’t know a lot about gold fish but I know that you need patience with tanks. Also oxygen is very important so a good idea is an air stone. From what I’ve read on here, goldfish need 30 gallon for one fish and 10 more for each additional...
#1 - I’m jealous
#2 - how about a new thread showing your 18 tanks with stocking list and setup descriptions?
I really enjoy seeing how everyone else stocks and scapes their tanks.
Thank you
Awesome feedback, thank you.
I really considered going SW with this, but after considering and calculating costs, and that I am still very new to fishkeeping, I’m sticking with FW for now. Long term I figure I could switch the FW fish to new tank and use BioCube for SW.
I like the mix you...
Have you tried taking out one sponge filter? If you have no fish = no waste, so your want that to build up.
Have any friends that have established aquarium or can you ask your LFS for some used filter media? Either that or get some bottled quick start and you will be good in short amount of time.
Good to know, and again thank you for the advice! I think the crypts are a great idea, thank you! And please let me know if you experiment with the java fern, I would like to know the outcome. In my other small nano tank currently have Amazon Sword, Java Moss and Marimo moss balls in low tech...
Thanks Aiken! I do hope though that the BioCube has sufficient light to be a planted tank (they advertise it as such)... please see below from the specs:
LED BioCube®
PAR* - 53
Peak PAR @ 12" - 81
Lux* - 2200
Peak Lux @ 12" - 3430
What do you think of that light setup?
I’m definitely doing...
I think you are correct and sometimes I get a little too creative with my planning. Since you are now familiar with the Biocube setup, the lights are actually awesome - they are able to grow corals, so plants should not be a problem. Okay freshwater refugium whacky idea put on hold for now...
This works.
I did this with my HOB filter and what I did was take one used cartridge (it is supposed to use 2) and put it in a solo cup with the Bioballs (new media) and soaked in tank water. Then put 2nd bag of new media in filter with other old cartridge. Ran filter and added fish...
YES! Intended for adding water volume to tank/ crazy good ability to handle bioload (i already modified my HOB on other tank and over-filter that one which makes both my fish and me very happy)
So... I bought a biocube 32 gallon, which i know is intended to be saltwater tank, but you can use for...
Tank looks very cool - have any more pictures of the front? Also, I see you have angel fish - do you enjoy/ recommend keeping them? I’m planning a new biocube32 freshwater and debating how to stock. One of the options I’m considering would be a pair of angelfish. Thanks for sharing and the...
