i have my 29 biocube and im soo sick of it... its got horrible light, a even worst red slime problem and it runs at 87 degrees with the lights off...im quite tired of being stressed out, and im thinking of selling almost everything, but the livestock and some live rock....
any pointers? i figured if i part with everything i would be very lucky to get 300 bucks for most of the stuff in my biocube...i calculated that i would be spending about 350 for a 20 gallon long with sump...lights...etc.
thanks,
Justin.

87 with the lights off???!!!!! Something is definitely wrong. How many pumps are running in it? Might be a faulty thermometer.

Are they stock lights? Yes, sounds like something wrong with either the thermometer or the heater... I have a biocube and don't have any problems with excessive heat. I did have red slime algae early on, but that's not the biocubes fault. How long has it been up and running? The slime algae should go away when the tank is balanced. Good luck.

How hot do you keep your house, I have a 29 biocube and the temp is consistent at 78-79, I run my lights for 12 hours a day and have never had a heat problem, it isnt the biocube that is causing your problems, you should check some other factors before you sell.
