14 gallon biocube

[countonetoe1987]

Right

[vinamel97]

where can i get that little spinning thing in the back of the tank?....

[Gtrplyr1]

hey ive got the same exact brain... Is is called Lobophyllia? Looking good!

[CapnAhab92095]

I have a biocube also and it is very easy to some extent... The hardest part for me is part maintenance ... The back is very tiny and I have big hands! How much live rock did you use in the biocube in the video? And which invertebrate did u opt to use

[Gungaful]

@CapnAhab92095 I had about 14 lbs of rock in it and went with a mix of snails and small hermits. A few turbos, ceriths, astreas and nassarius as well as a fire shrimp and skunk cleaner both at different times.

[CapnAhab92095]

Hey guys I think I can answer ur questions... First of all , it's not required you use a protein skimmer on nano reefs

[dgulla1]

Beautiful, I plan to get a fourteen gallon Biocube myself. Is it easier to care for a saltwater aquarium with a Biocube?

[allSaLTwater]

I have this tank and wanted to know if u could have corals in this tank without a protein skimmer

[chase5029]

where did u get the spinning output

[HaloKiller1166]

u should get a mate for ur clown..either another true perc, an ocellaris, or a black ocellaris. nice tank!

[djnik0515]

Is it hard to maintain the Xenia my corals are turning green/black any idea to get it out

[dickstadium]

beautiful xenia and perc!

[djnik0515]

How and where do you put a biocube 14 protein skimmer and a heater

[dickstadium]

@djnik0515 my heater is in the actual tank, and people usually take out the carbon filter in chamber one and put the skimmer in there. for a tank this size as long as you keep up with water changes a skimmer isnt neccessary

[Potsgirl22]

What is that purpleish thing on the right top back of the tank? What does it do and does it come with the tank?

[dickstadium]

@Potsgirl22 its a powerhead, ahydor koralia nano, it blows the water around is all, and no, it does not come with the tank

[Gungaful]

It is a Percula clown.

[kxracer704]

what kind of clown fish is that?

[dickstadium]

@kxracer704 a true percula

[polozero7]

i have the same tank but my clown stays in the back of the tank for some reason is it because of the water flow my tank is 1 year old

[Tmiller19931]

Your percula is beautiful!

[blairfritz]

How much live rock do you have?

[Gungaful]

14 pounds

[rhys009]

hi....i was wondering what kind of koralia u got, in the nuzzle....my pet stores here doesnt have koralia powerhead, is koralia powerhead and the 1 u put on the nuzzle are different?

[Gungaful]

The one on the pump outlet is a Hydor Flo Deflector. The powerhead on the other side is a Koralia Nano.

[rhys009]

Hey thanks!....u got awesome tank, hope mine will look like that someday....just setup my biocube yesterday....

[ShadowProduction1]

Hey, I started having algae or waste on my filter cartridge, is this normal... I have changed the cartridge and in 2 days the samething. Is this normal? Any tips?

[Gungaful]

I pulled my filter cartridge out. If anything I would run carbon in the 2nd chamber, when you take the bioballs out there is a tray at the bottom that a bag of carbon can sit on.

[ShadowProduction1]

thanks!

[tuffm2000]

I have a question for you where is your heater?

[Gungaful]

In the back chamber with the return pump. I took out the bio balls and run the water level up to the top of the rear chambers.

[ShadowProduction1]

i got it! i did what you said, i raised the water level. thanks! :)

[Gungaful]

Awesome! Glad I could help.

[ShadowProduction1]

one question, i just setup my biocube 14 and the filter is releasing a lot of bubbles into my tank. any tips?

[Gungaful]

You may need to raise the water level a bit.

[ShadowProduction1]

i try but the water is already too high.

[ShadowProduction1]

Could I use a Biocube Protien Skimmer 14-29 gallon version for an 8 gallon biocube?

[Gungaful]

That I do not know.

[ShadowProduction1]

its ok, i got a 14 gallon biocube.

[AcanLord]

Did you Modify the return Nozzel? Yours Rotates, Mine looks nothing like that. If so, how did you do it? are there any benefits to this mod?

[Gungaful]

it is called a hydor flo deflector. it just makes the flow a bit more random.

[msaghian2]

lmao

[darian119]

do snail help with algea?? i was told crabs would and i bought two and it seams like they havent been doing anything?? im having a tough time with algea on my sand and glass??

[Gungaful]

Depends on the type of snail or crab in question. Turbo snails will help with hair algae and such and emerald crabs are good for bubble algae and sometimes hair. Nessarius snails help keep the sand moving which can be helpful with algae on the sand.

[anthonymovies4]

DO u have a skimmer in the back right? all corals and sea anemones could survive with out a skimmer sometimes? Is it ok If i can use aqua clear 30 power head in a 36 gallon bowfront tank should that be fine for corals and sea anemones too?

[vavoomskill]

Great looking Cube!

[Cnidarious]

how are xenia surviving in a 5 month old tank?

[Gungaful]

Thriving is more like it. That started as two stalks. I recently made 17 frags of it and still have some left in the tank. It went in at about 2 months and by 5 it was like that. I cleared most of it out to make room for some sps though.

[Cnidarious]

SPS in a biocube?

Did you have modified lighting?

My biocube is about a year old and has lots of problems.

Cyano is rampant, and my stonies are all but dead now.

All thats left is some ricordea, regular mushrooms, tonga mushrooms a kenya tree some GPS, and a tiny frag of xenia which is some how surviving.

I tried two other times but they died, This ones living longer.

both my of fox corals and a frogspawn are dead. and i have two dieing favias.

[Gungaful]

I have a 150w Sunpod on it now. The only coral I have ever lost was a Yuma Ric. This was before the new lighting though so I think they just weren't getting enough light.

[Cnidarious]

Odd, I have Florida Ric in mine and they have been doing excellent. I started out with one, now i have four.

[Gungaful]

Ya, my Florida Rics were fine it was the Yuma's that didn't do well. They usually are a little more demanding though.

[nymets1fan]

hey, nice tank, im considering get one of these, but i want to know how much noise the filter makes? Thanks!

[Gungaful]

No it's powered by the flow of water. It's called a Hydor Flo deflector or something along those lines. Was like 15 bucks.

[pepperrules2008]

is that rotating return flow battery powered or what?

[jamaicastewart]

that's a nice tank

i am going to get one soon

but i was wondering if it comes

with a heater?

[Gungaful]

No but you can put a heater in one of the rear chambers if you take out the bio balls andcharcoal filter like I did.

[Gungaful]

yup, lights are stock

[devnull128]

Nice looking tank bud, do you have the stock lights?
