    Just saying hello, Bought a 29 Gallon cube tank and I'm starting my first saltwater tank. I've had Cichlids, Angel fish and other freshwater fish.

    Thanks. I'm really excited to have my own little part of the ocean. Any recommended topics to read up on?

    cycling perhaps.. seems to be a good place to start...but not knowing your level of experience..if you already know that stuff...Do you have a sump? that's another big area to know. : )

    Welcome to 3Reef...Cheers !! ;D

    I read quite a bit about cycling. I've had about 8 fresh water tanks. I've done koi in an out door pond, just. Never saltwater. I'm not sure what you mean about a sump??

    I bought a nano cube so it's all contained in one, Do I need a external sump?

    The link below applies to all types of tanks including AIO (all in one) like a Bio-cube.

    Under this section of the forum, you will find threads directly related to Bio-cubes.

    Bio-cubes typically make use of the back chambers, doing simple modifications to upgrade the skimmer, InTank media baskets, placement of marco algae Chaeto, and use of charcoals such as Chemipure elite.
