I got a 29 gallon biocube and I loved the look but hated all of the equipment. It didn't seem safe. I bought it used and it must have had some issues. I know they're cool little tanks. However, for the sake of avoiding an electrical fire, I got a 25 gallon tall tank and switched everything over. Used some established filter media to try and keep it from cycling too bad. I also am daily dosing Seachem Stability. I used aragonite live sand and transferred some from the established tank over. All rock is live rock (25-30 lbs). Currently has 2 T5 coralife 10,000K bulbs on it. I plan on adding 2 more in the morning. Has a standard filter on it. Going to add another one in the morning and a powerhead as soon as I have a chance. The only ones I have are 800 gph wave makers. Lol! I need a smaller one. The temperature is 78 degrees so I'm trying to move the temperature up slowly. All fish, CUC, and corals look to be adjusting well. Just have to keep up with my parameters and water changes. I'll post pics tomorrow.

Sounds good. Nice clown btw. Do you have any full tank shots
Thanks and thanks! That clown was the first saltwater fish I ever bought!
I don't yet. This morning my 6-line wrasse showed a few signs of stress so I haven't arranged my rocks yet. Everything is just kind of hanging out for now. Tomorrow I'll rearrange and take some pictures. the chaeto is new for me. I've never had it before.

I think my mushroom coral Is braver, but I have one of the most original named clownfish ever. Scaredy Cat
Ahh. You didn't name him nemo? You must not even like saltwater. Hahahah. Just kidding. That's cute. My clownfish is named Marlin since he lost his girlfriend.

Lol, I think I like my saltwater better then my fresh, and that's sad. Not to a barracuda I hope
Lol. Nope. Not a barracuda. I used to have a plethora of freshwater tanks. I got 1 saltwater and I haven't been very interested in them since. Lol.

Still haven't moved my rocks around because my wrasse looked like he was stressing. Didn't want to change too much. But I will redo the rock work in the next couple of days and update again. Everyone seems happy
