Edikpok's 29g BioCube. Updated: September 2010

[edikpok]

Hey guys,

I just thought that I would share some picture of my mini-setup... has been up and running for about a year now.... no mods on the cube other than adding a small coralife skimmer in the back compartment and making a small splash guard between tank and back compartments so that fish stop jumping there...

Enjoy and feel free to tell me what you think....

Eddie

Wat lighting do u have and wat combo?

[edikpok]

Coralife stock lighting (one actinic and one 10,000K 36W each)

[no_bs]

Nice little setup. Quite an assortment you have there. Very tempting to get the wife a little tank.

[freezetyle]

Full tank shot?:biggrin:

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

Very beautiful and the corals look extremely happy & colourful. Good job.

[edikpok]

Thanks guys! freeze- will take one later this week :)

Anthony - see the neon green candy canes? this colony started from the 2 polyps that you gave a while ago!!!

[TheKid]

What do you dose?

[edikpok]

Absolutely nothing :) Just 20% water changes once a week....

[TheKid]

looks awesome man, currently setting up my own bio29, do u have any sand sifters? how are u keeping your sand so whit?

[edikpok]

arghhhh sand... it is not so white anymore!!! sand sifters make too much of a mess and I am not sure myself how to keep it clean! I wish someone else could help us here!

[Rbacchiega]

Great example of how sometimes less in terms of mods etc is more!

[uslanja]

I know this is an old thread..... but the photos are stunning and..... any update photos if this thread is revived???? Please!!!!

[edikpok]

Figured I would add an update of my 5 yo Biocube reef tank. I used stock PC light, and replace them every 6-7 months.
