Okay, here's the unveiling of my 29g biocube. I've done some minor filtration modifications and have added a MJ 900 PH. It's only 2 mos old so all I have so far are 3 hermits, 1 peppermint, 1 emerald, 50+ ilyanassa snails, some hitchhiker feather dusters, a whole bunch of pods and bristles, a small kenya frag, a small pulsing xenia frag and a small yellow polyps frag. I just got a really cute lawnmower blenny yesterday (not in this pic tho) and I just love him. He's really got a great personality and seems to love my one pukani rock on the right. I spent many hours last Sat. re-aquascaping after getting my final 2 rocks. I now have 26 lbs worth and 40 lb of live sand. What do you think? I like it so I guess that's what really matters, huh???? LOL!

You're off to a great start! As for my mods on my filter, I removed the bioballs, then I put in 2 jars of Seachem's Matrix, a bag of Seachem's Purigen and then put in some filter/foam floss. I, also, took the cartridge from the 1st chamber and right now I have it just laying on top of the grate over chamber 2. After I can't clean it anymore, I'm going to replace it with a little bag of charcoal. Another thing I do is keep my water level just above maximum. This has prevented any bubbles from the pump. Not to mention that my water is always clear, just a little sand floating around because of my return and PH blowing it off the rocks............lol!

Probably just to upgrade the lights eventually. I'm leaning toward T5's, but I'm not sure what hood/canopy/kit would work with the biocube. What were the things you added?

well i have only had it for about 3 days... but if you look at my pic, my return valve/flow thing (?) i changed to a larged bar that displaces the water throughout the tank much better.... have you seen the new HQI bio cube? they are so sweet!

Yeah, I've ordered the loc line split return to change mine out, too. I didn't know biocube was putting out an HQI, so know I haven't seen it yet. How much is that running? I saw the Red Sea 34g, and it is way expensive!
