Algae bloom has been eradicated. Added a good size clean up crew + the first tank m8. Super small gumdrop goby. Perfect for this size tank.

Looks very nice! How bad was it to take the top trim off? What are you running for media in the center compartment? I just picked up a new in box biocube 8. It was still sealed from 2004.

Super easy. Just take your time. Clean up was the hardest part and that wasn't too bad ether. Nice score!! Set that puppy up! Intank media basket with chemipure. Iv made some upgrades on the tank from last time I posted. Ill post up some new pics soon

I feel like this is two questions in one so ill answer both.

1, it works with the aid of a rio return pumping water through some airline tubing up into the box. The line goes through a piece of defuser about halfway down to help solids settle at the bottom. Chaeto is grown in the top half to out compete algae in the display.

2, it works great.

Can you share your build? I'm thinking about adding a little refugium to my 20G IM peninsula.
