Hey, As it stands now, I do not have a very deep live sand bed. I was wanting to add some more live sand to my tank, but am unsure if putting a fresh layer over my existing sand bed will have any negative side effects (other than sand storm)? As always, any feedback/advice is much appreciated...

Hey, I have a Biocube 14G that currently houses an ocellaris clownfish, yellowtail damsel, fire shrimp, various hermits and snail, and a few mushrooms/zoas. I used to have a tailspot blenny as well, but it died out of no where after a few months. The tank is consistently at 0 for...

Hey, I have a BioCube 14g with a clownfish, yellowtail damsel, tailspot blenny, and various inverts. I just added a koralia nano 240 for more flow and it seems to be scaring the fish. I have it positioned in the back right corner right below the top intake of the BioCube and it is aimed...

I jumped into the hobby too fast and quickly realized that it is not only harder than I anticipated, but also that I don't really have the time required to maintain the tank at the level that fish deserve. I have only had the tank for about 2-3 months, so it is in perfect condition. I added an...

Hey guys, So unfortunately I had to take my twin spot goby back :/ Couldn't get him eating enough. At least he is in a more established tank now and can get all the food he needs. Some happier news..I got a couple new tank mates today for my clown! A really nice looking tailspot blenny, and...

Hey, I have seen many people with BioCube 14G add a Koralia Nano to their tank (often at the top right of the tank near the intake to chamber 1). I have a couple of questions regarding this: 1) In your guys' opinion, would the benefits of adding it be worth the $? 2) would placing it near the...

Hello, I am looking to add a Tailspot Blenny, but none of the LFS seem to have them here in Portland, OR. LiveAquaria.com is out of stock, and also super expensive. Does anyone know where I could find one of these? thanks!

I was told that the twin spot was pretty hardy/easy to care for by the lfs, but am finding that that is not entirely true. I attempted to feed him with my spot feeder last night and encountered 2 problems: 1) The cleaner shrimp came over and tried to eat most of the food. Since he is bigger...

I was told that the twin spot was pretty hardy/easy to care for by the lfs, but am finding that that is not entirely true. He has been sifting through the sand and eating from the sand pretty much non stop. Because my tank is still so new though (only a couple months old) my sand bed likely does...

I have a 14g BioCube with a clown and soon to be twin spot goby. The clown is approximately 1.5". I am going to be adding a yellowtail damsel as my last fish. To have the best chance of avoiding aggression, I want to get him small enough where he doesn't think he is the king. I know there are...

I have noticed that my percula clownfish has been changing in color on the upper half of his body. Rather than being all orange like he was when I first got him, it now looks like there is black mixing in with his orange. From what I have been told, this is normal. Just want to make sure that...

I moved changed out some of the less dense rubble LR for the nice red piece and moved things around a little bit. Currently have the clown, 2 snails, 3 hermits and 1 cleaner shrimp. Adding a twin spot goby tomorrow and then hopefully a baby yellowtail blue damsel last. Sorry for the crappy...

Yesterday I noticed a very small worm like creature slithering through the tiny holes in my LR. I only saw it for a second or two, so I don't remember exactly what it looked like, but I think it was very similar to the attached picture.

Hey guys, I have a 14G biocube currently stocked with a male percula clownfish that is roughly 1.5", a cleaner shrimp, and a few hermits and snails. My next addition is going to be some type of small goby, and I would really like to make my last addition a small yellowtail damsel. I have...

So I was just looking at my tank and happened to witness a murder! It appeared as if one of my hermits was harassing the other one and managed to get him out of his shell. Instantly my cleaner shrimp attacked and locked up the loose crab in his legs/arms/tentacles and has been attempting to...

I've got a few questions pertaining to cleaning the chambers of the BioCube 14G (specifically the 3rd chamber). I would appreciate any input/advice from people who have/had BioCubes, or are just familiar with them :dance: 1) There appears to be a fair amount of sand or something on the floor...

I have a 14G BioCube FOWLR tank. Been up for about 2 months and currently has a clown fish, 2 hermits, 2 snails and a cleaner shrimp. All equipment is currently stock. Per some advice I received on here, I ordered a media basket setup that includes filter floss, purigen and chemi-pure elite...

a couple pieces of my LR fell over and in an attempt to fix them I actually knocked over another piece. During the process of fixing everything, things got shaken up quite a bit and my clown got stressed I think. I did a water change and added some of the Kent Ammonia Detox but I still have...

Hey guys, I currently have a small male percula clownfish in my 14G biocube and I just recently added a cleanup crew as well. I really want to add a yellowtail damsel, but have heard very mixed opinions on it. I have heard that it's totally fine, that it is ok if you add the damsel last, that...

Got my BioCube 14 gallon all set up, tank cycled, nitrates at acceptable level. Added 1 percula clownfish and a few small coral frags that the lfs told me require little light to survive. Below are some pics!

I just added a clown fish to my recently cycled tank and had a few questions. 1. I have read different opinions about lighting for a FOWLR tank, and want to know what you all think is the best thing to do. Some have said that a consistent lighting schedule of 8-10 hours/day is needed, and some...

I finally got my BioCube all set up and ready to add fish. pH level is good and amonia/nitrites are at 0. I attached some pics of my set up. Hopefully you guys like it. I will be adding one or two clowns this weekend hopefully!

Hey guys, I am trying to find a good stand for the BioCube 14g and was wondering if anyone knew of places where I could get one for cheap? I really like the stand made specifically for BC, but another stand would be fine too. Just don't wanna spend TOO much $;)

Hey, I ordered a BioCube 14 which should be arriving soon. I also ordered an Aqueon Pro 50w heater for it, which is 8.5". I am worried that this might be too big to fit in the first chamber, where many people put their heaters for their BioCube. I was wondering if anyone know's the depth of...

Hey guys, I am new to the forum and to the saltwater fish hobby. I am going to start off with a 14 gallon Oceanic BioCube 14 gallon tank. My goal (at least for now) is simply to have an aquarium with some cool looking fish and a neat aquascape, while also providing a safe and comfortable...
