Re: My Biocube 29

I am so used to used systems - going to be very nice - and NEW.

How about a goby/shrimp pair in there?

BTW - will you need an ATO?  I've had nanos with PC and HQI, and I never needed to top up.  I did weekly wc, but was never down more than 1/4-1/2" (never below the glass line anyway).

The shrimp Goby is a good idea!
Not too sure about the ATO, but from what I read the tunze skimmer is very dependent on a constant water level so I decided to go with it lol

Not a huge (volume) upgrade but it'll make me happy for a while I think. lol

I think 80% of my corals came from you lol It's getting nicer just wish I would have set up the 90 gallon when I had it.  :?

What kind of substrate you using?
Really like the way it looks.

Just a crushed coral with aragonite and fine sand mix (not sure on brand, it came from an old system I bought a while ago.)
Was using purple-up during my cycle and some areas started to get coralline algae on it.
