Why are you changing the stock pump? and what are you changing it to?

not the pump just those filter cartridges.
Where did everyone locate their additional power heads? I'm trying to find a place for my 425 gph one. I've had my tank running for 5 days now. This time the tank decided to not crack.
What is a recommended 100w heater that is short enough to not be out of the water in chamber 3 or chamber 2? I'll probably only be using a media basket with no fuge. Aquaticlife 115 in chamber 1.
Thank you.

Time for new bulbs on my 29g biocube. Looking for some options.Has any one bought new bulbs lately? Where can I get them?
I heard recently that JBJ has a replacement bulbs that fit the 29G biocube. Is that true?
To me it looks like they only have the combo or 50/50 lights.
Any thought would be appreciated.

I have a biocube 8 in my office I just set up. Down the road as I want to keep phosphates low (aside from water changes) what have people done for media in the tank. Since it's an office tank I don't want to a have any added external reactors so I was hoping to place something in the tank itself. I was thinking of a media bag with carbon/gfo but not sure of the ideal way to place it. Right now I've placed a bunch of rubble rock in the chamber in the back of the tank but that can be removed if need be.

That rubble is probably trapping a lot of crap (unless you siphon it regularly) in the back and boosting your nitrate and phosphate levels so:
1) I'd remove that rubble
2) Invest in a media rack, I use the inTank basket, follow the link to the BC8 rack.
3) Within the rack I run floss, purigen, and phosguard.
The combo of those should give you the results you're looking for....hope that helps

mainly softies. but with stock lighting your growth wont be as fast, and the colors wont pop as much. i think its time for a led upgrade

upgrade with a kit from rapidled. you will never have to change your bulbs again. and your now open to put what ever you want in the tank

Hey! So who has a vortech on their biocube???
Softies (kenya trees, mushrooms), zoas, and some lps like acans, frogspawn and candy canes.
I have an MP10 on my 29g bc. Works great. I control mine with an apex. I have it running at 50% reefcrest during the day and 40% (I think?) at night. I run through various profiles depending on the feed cycle I run via the apex.
It replaced two 425 gph koralias.

Anyone know if I can stick a large maxima clam at the top of my reef under the hqi? Right now I have him in the sand. If not what would you recommend for the top?
Hi! 14gal biocube, 1 yr plus. Picked up new bulbs 2 mos ago- UVL-PC-R bulbs from InTank- (mediabaskets.com), same wattage as current but reflectors send more light down into tank, my corals are growing twice as fast, and colors are better.I went with 1 50/50 and one actinic, the all white ones from UVL tend to look pink. Just thought I'd pitch in...
