Oceanic Bio Cube 29

[Hobster]

Anyone have or seen one? I saw one at the LFS but did not get the price. I imagine it's $$$. It looks pretty darn nice.

I think they have the cheapest price for it I've seen.

I am going to pick up either the 29 or 14 soon.

Do these come with skimmers? How does skimming work with these little pre-setup cubes?

 

[GSMguy]

no skimmer comes with them in 14 gallon some cheato and water changes will work well there are a few people who have modded them to fit a tunze nanoskimmer

MY LFS also sells a 2" diameter nano skimmer. I might give it a try for $25.

Is it the fission nano skimmer? If so your buying a $25 doorstop

 

[sandman12]

LOL, yes. That's what I thought so I held off. I'm thinking about adding a 10g sump to the 29g bio cube and buy the euro-reef extruded acrylic skimmer for $200

Is the glass on the bio cubes tempered? Has anyone drilled there's?

I paid $250 for my 29 gallon Biocube at a LFS. I also bought the stand for $130. There is no skimmer. Its basically Bio-balls, and your basic carbon filter insert. Depending on the month, i replace the filter cartridge once a week or once every 2 weeks. I do a 5 gallon water change with RO/DI water once a week. I have approximately 33lbs of live rock. One peice is about 9lbs and has a bunch of macro algae on it, but personally i think it looks really nice. Some don't like the macro in the main tank.

Either way with that for filtering, my nitrates stay between 0-5 and the phos is between 0-0.3. Never had any algae outbreaks and maybe have to use a magnet scrubber on the sides every few days, but no real big deal.

That is with a maroon clow, a royal gramma, and a lawn mower blenny. I also have a rock with 8 or so mushrooms and some star polyps.
