Starting Over

Well if I dont get the warranty for my biocube I'm just gonna start over from scratch, so can someone just give me a rundown to all the supplies I'll need? Gonna be doing a 30 gallon tank (can the biocube stand support that?) with maybe a sump, still not sure on that note. might as well take advantage of Petco $1/Gallon sale... but then again they have a 29 gallon so I guess I'll be doing a 29 again XD. So anyway, I'll probably go out shopping by next week, and I am planning to do a reef tank. Hopefully this tank does NOT leak like my POS oceanic biocube...

 

You will need a light fixture, thermometer, circulation pumps, overflow if you get a sump, return pump for the sump, probably can use the heater from the biocube. Might be able to use the light fixture from it for a while also.

 

good luck this time around

 

Forgot new sand if you are using sand.

 

Thanks 2in10; just needed a quick run-down to make sure I forget nothing

 

cant i just use the sand in my BC?

 

There can be a lot of problems from stirring up old sand, and given the price of dry sand it is worth the safety of using new sand.

 

Can't he just wash it really good and reuse?
I did that to my 29g when i started over after my ich fiasco 2 years ago.

 

What size tank your getting? I say a 55g, you can get a yellow tang.

 

wha? As much as i'd like one Doesn;t a yellow tang need like 90 gallons? I'd get a 55 but i have no room; only have space for a 29 in the corner of the living room
