Mattias' BioCube 29 *New Angel!*

Yes I'll get a deflector, no its not cemented, yes I'll remove from the top, yes it's the stock lights, no I can't afford the upgrade.

 

I'll be getting 50$ this weekend so that should take care of sand and a refractometer. Then next weekend another 40$ for salt. Then after that all I need is 20$ for rodi water and 20$ for a clown.

Here's what I know about cycling, correct me if I'm wrong.
Add dead shrimp.
Wait for ammo. To spike.
Wait for ammo. To go down to 0 and trites to rise.
Wait for trites to go to 0.
Do 20% pwc.
Add fish.

Is that how it is?

 

how did i go from 1 to 57,000 karma?

 

I would say more flow for sure. Its not essential right away but I would add more later on. Someone awarded you karma. Someone with a good reputation. Ill give you a bit more. You deserve it with how well this build is going buddy. Keep up the good work!

 

thanks! ill add a powerhead to the list. probably a koralia 550.

 

If you are looking for med to higher flow Id look into the 750. I actually ran the 240 and a 750 in a biocube 14 and loved the flow it gave me. So I think it would be better for your tank to go with a 750.

 

ill look into that! can't wait till this weekend! sand and refractometer!

 

Dont forget to tune your refractometer! I found that one out the hard way... Haha.

 

Haha will I need something else other than the actual device to tune it?

 

im running one koralia 1050 in my 29g biocube. i also upped the main pump from 285 up to 325 by replacing it w the hydror 325-- i love my water flow
