bio CUBE 29 GAL

what do you buys think about turning the second compartment in the bio cube into a refugium with macro alage and tigger pods, i have bio balls in the compartment now how do i slowly take the bio balls out and add LR. and macro alage. does any one have any pictures of what they have done.

 

I would just take out 1/4 of the bio-balls every couple days.

Here are some basic mod links for the biocubes, it you have not already seen them.

 

I'm in the same problem too, take them out slowly is all I can say after reading on this for the last two days. If you don't do it slowly it will spike the ammonia and nitrite possibly(more like probably imo). I have plenty of time and plan on this taking me at least a month to get rid of them. Check out the media baskets from InTank at mediabaskets.com, they look like a good route to go from all of what I've been reading. You can get them fairly cheap IMO and see vids of them and how they fit into the biocube, they link to youtube to show the videos(pretty awesome). You have two choices, media basket and skimmer set up or media basket and fuge no skimmmer option. The idea looks great but haven't heard any responses to how good they work, my guess would be great. I like the fact that you do not have to modify the biocube at all, no drilling, pumping etc. Good luck.

 

I think a fuge would be fine on a 29g biocube. But because the compartments are so small, there isn't much for a fuge. If you do a fuge, that's fine. But it will be a chaeto-filled compartment, basically. No room for a DSB.

 

Check out Mediabaskets.com and buy the Mediabasket for the Biocube chamber 2. I just installed mine tonight and so far so good. Its AMAZING!
