    Little update, Yesterday i got a bllast in the mail for the bad one that came with it, along with a 50/50 bulb still waiting on the second 50/50 bulb to come. In the meantime the tank doesnt seem to lose water to evaporation in the tank itself, if i need to top off where do i add the water to the back chambers? and should i turn off the pump?

    Hey, good to hear you got replacement parts.

    When you add water make sure to keep the pump on, otherwise you won't know when to stop adding water. You will eventually have evap when the lights are on.

    Your water level will drop in chamber 3. Thats where you top off or put an ATO.

    Everything is normal, all my tests came back normal, its been a week and half and my frogspawn, hammer and all my zoas are closed up just my ricordeas have opened.

    If anyone can chime in on my problem with my coralife digital timer as well, i had it running my fan and light on freshwater tank, i set it up for the biocube and now it doesnt work, ive let it try to cycle for 24 hours but it never kicks on when it is supposed to and the timing is constantly off everyday, id reset it to what time it is and the next day its 20 minutes off.
