    Hi all!

    I am running a 29 gallon BioCube right now. I have the bioballs in the wet/dry partition in the back. I was thinking of taking them out and filling it with live rock. Has anyone done this and/or had success?

    Yes, you can do that but do it little bits at a time. Remove 1/3 of them and replace with LR pieces. Wait a week or two and repeat until it is all changed out.

    Thanks for the advice. I am also thinking of building a refugium from a 10 gallon tank. Any advice on this
