    BioCube 29 Diary-- A College Student's First Saltwater Tank!

    I have had freshwater aquariums since I was 13 or 14, and I finally decided in June of this year that I was ready to try my hand at saltwater. I read a magazine and saw the mandarin goby in its pages; although I have since reconsidered adding this fish to my system, his appearance and colors...

    Is it possible to have a reef tank look like this? What do I need?

    I acquired a 29 gallon BioCube and will be setting it up Monday; it will be my first experience with saltwater. The tank comes with one 36 watt 10,000K bulb and a 36 watt actinic bulb, as well as the three LED moonlights. I'm curious as to whether or not these could sustain the type of coral I...

    Will this suffice as a stand for a 29 gallon BioCube?

    Paying $130 for a stand is something I really don't want to do unless I have to. We have an end-table at home where the frame and legs are made of steel, and the top is glass. After measuring, the dimensions of the end-table are about 2-3 inches longer on all sides than the BioCube. I was...

    Bad ballast in BioCube; can I buy any ballast or does it HAVE to be Oceanic brand?

    We found out the ballast to my BioCube is out, as well as the actinic light. Am I able to buy a different ballast (hopefully one a little cheaper) or do I have to order the specific BioCube one? Its for the 14 gallon BioCube.

    Curing/cooking/seeding "dead" live rock?

    Hi all, I picked up some dead rock from my boyfriend's uncle to start up my first saltwater tank. It has been left in a wheelbarrow outside for 2-3 years. Is there anything I need to do to the rock before I begin to "seed" it? From what I gather, seeding the rock should take place if I add all...

    Anyone here have the BioCube that could tell me or just take some pictures of how its supposed to be set up? Few other questions also...

    Hi all! Today I acquired a 14 gallon Oceanic BioCube for FREE through my boyfriend's uncle. It had been sitting outside for months and was a bit dirty, so I spent three hours using vinegar water and elbow grease to clean it up. It looks great so far. However, since it was free, I have no...

    Is this a good deal for this nano tank?

    Hi everyone, I've been doing research lately on tanks, and I was planning on converting an old 10 gallon freshwater tank into a saltwater. However, the more I look into it (and the more people I speak with who currently have saltwater tanks), the more I realize how expensive it will be. I was...

    Planning first saltwater tank; still have LOTS of questions!

    Hello everyone! I've been keeping freshwater tanks for many years, and I'm ready to try something new. So, I decided to try my hand at saltwater! I will be using a 10 gallon tank (due to the fact that I have an extra, and I would rather keep investments minimal until I'm sure I enjoy saltwater...
