    IMO: Your best first mod is to convert one of your filter chambers for chaeto cultivation or hooking an external sump to your bio-cube.

    That's not going to happen. We have no problems with nutrient export. We have a couple of filter feeders that like "dirtier" water. We want to maintain the all in one closed system.
    It's my wife's tank and she just wants to get the colours of her Zoa and Ricordia to improve.

    I have the biocube 8 and on the 15th I'll have a 28 ..

    The only mods we have done is turning the 2nd chamber into a LR/chaeto (mini fuge) and added a koralia nano to the display. Between the two intakes ...

    Everything is happy....


    I'm turning the 8g into QT at the start of Nov.

    anywho, gl!

    those look rediculasly overpriced! but they do seem like a quality product. i would probably just get a clip on light for my bc29 but for the smaller size that might be a better path. (if you can afford it). and i would get the 70w hqi at least if you want to make any improvements on lighting. i dont think anything less would be enough for softies or clams
