I picked up a cheap piece of 8x10 plexi at lowes, then just used a utility knife to cut it to size/shape. I filled the chamber with LR rubble to keep the plexi pressed up against the vents. Seems to work well.

I blocked the lower 2 intake vents in the first chamber and replaced the stock pump with a MJ 900 (I have the 12g AP).

The most recent one I have, though it's changed a bit since this pic was taken...

In my first run through this hobby I had a more "traditional" setup - a main display tank with an overflow that fed a sump. One very nice thing about that setup was that the water level in my display tank never changed, rather the level in the sump went up and down with topoffs and evaporation...

More LR is always a good idea. Adding it slowly over time is safer, but if you're sure it's cured then you shouldn't have any problems adding it all at once.

That will be too much light for some corals, but all in all it should be fine. I'd wonder more about the length of the lights compared to the length of the tank than I would the wattage.

12g Aquapod. I've had the tank for about 6mos now and I've tested my tank water twice and my RO/DI water twice. Once your tank is set and you know it's "routine" you won't have to test nearly as often.

chamber 1: LR chamber 2: LR chamber 3: LR chamber 4: heater and pump

Also, try leaving the feeding hatch open so the heat can vent out of the tank. Having a fully eclosed lid over the tank makes it hard for heat to escape.

I've recently started testing alk and I'm trying to get a better understanding of how various water parameters affect each other. Last night I did a full batch of tests on both my current tank water (which I've been having some trouble with lately) and a fresh batch of water all mixed up and...

Nope, it's a direct swap. I've actually been thinkign about one for my AP12...

some peppermint shirmp do, some don't. I've read that it depends where the shirmp are collected from, but I don't know if there's any truth to it. How bad is the aiptasia in your tank? How established is your tank? I had some in my tank early on... I simply removed the rock and use a small...

I've got the following: - 5 zebra hermits - 3 scarlet hermits - 1 emerald crab - 5 nassarius (these are more scavengers than algae eaters though) - 3 turbos - 5 ceriths (these are the best for algae, IMO) will soon be adding a lettuce nudi as well.

Originally Posted by AGENT-X wow, that's crazy, but like you side it says it's model 29. so maybe it's really not a 29. Has anyone filled a JBJ, Aquapod to see what it holds in comparisson to what it says? I do a 5g water change in my AP12 and I end up replacing pretty darn close to half the...

Originally Posted by AGENT-X I wouldn't think that any of the cubes hold what they state they do. Once you add substrate and LR you have displaced an amount of water. Not that it's going displace 6 gallons, but that could acount for some variance. yea, that's basically teh case with any tank...

Originally Posted by AZReefGirl When calculating anything for the size 29 Biocube, just keep in mind that it does NOT hold 29 gallons. It only holds about 23 gallons of water, and that's without LR or sand. I'm not familiar with the biocubes... does it really only hold ~23gallons, or is the...
