how is ur sand so god damn clean? whats ur CUC like?
@fishman500000 He made it a much better healthier cleaner tank.
Very nice set up! Hopefully some day I have the money to invest into a setup like this. For now, my 10 gallon nano will have to do. That alone has cost me almost $400 so far, no livestock.
can u contact me? i really want to know how you got the water to the sump, did u modify the bulkhead of the biocube? my number is 801-673-9592 my name is bill
Why would you go to all that trouble to modify a biocube with a sump?
That is not enough room for a Peacock Mantis. You should have a minimum of 40 gallons for it.
how is a biocube different from a fish tank
whats a biocube ?
it is supost to be self contained but you made it harder!!!!!!!!!!!
Cause biocubes are Awsome! Very nice
because it an awesome tank lol i have it and made a fuge in the back and got an aqualight mh
why would u spend so much on a biocube if you just made a sump anyway
Mantis in a fuge… sweet!
Hi, what kind of drill bit do you use to drill the tank? let me asap. Thanks.
Hi, great setup!
Did you do the sump by ourself? Is is done with glass or plastic glass? I plan to do something similar. Any tips would be more than welcome!
Thanks
Hey dude, just curious…. how did you drill the overflow in the return chamber???? And what size did you use?
Was your Mantis a hitch hiker ?
thanks a so much
My tank’s glass constantly gets dirty, yet yours is so clean. did you give it a good clean before the taping? or does it stay clean?
it is only an aquarium with a filter and lights only good enough for soft corals. this guy has gone all out for the best possible for his tank. the biocube has a wet dry filtration filter which is about the best kind out there. the only thing you will probly need is to buy a skimmer. Oceanic does make a skimmer for the biocube at 40$. I dont recommend it, try looking for other ones.
does the cube come with everything u need to start a saltwater aquarium…or do u need to buy other stuff for it?…please help
I used a 1” bulkhead,, 1” pvc with 90* elbows, the bubble traps are 8” tall,, 1” apart this allow’s for easy cleaning in between them .
I am about to put a refu in my 29 gallon biocube as well. I was wondering if you could tell me a few things about yours. I wanted to know what size bulk head you used for the overflow as well as what size PVC pipe you used for the overflow and return pump. I also want to know the spacing and height on your baffels for you bubble trap. please get back to me as soon as you can. I will be starting this the first week in July. Thank you.
i have a 90 deg street elbow in chamber 3 on the drilled bulkhead aiming straight down with a strainer on it. the air lines on the out side of the bulkhead act as durso vent .
And then what? What is connected to the bulkhead inside the Biocube? Durso stand pipe? Do you have a link you could post here with pics or a walkthrough of your build?
