J.R Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 So I decided to get me a little tank to scratch my itch while I am waiting to have the family room completed and the spot for the 180 to sit. (naughty) So I went to Upscales and got a killer deal on a 29gal Oceanic Bio Cube HQI.(rock2) Only took me about an hour to set-up.(rock2) The light is super bright but I am eigther going to find a way to rig up a couple of T-5 actinics or some LED. I might swap the bulb for something more blue. It currently has a 14k coralife bulb. (scratch) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.R Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 It was the quickest tank build I have ever done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.R Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 Well I havnt done an update on this tank in a while. Heres a full tank shot. My cycle was really quick on this tank, just over two weeks and it was done. I did change out some of the original rock I had in here for some more workable pieces that I had in the barrels.

J.R Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 Thanks! BTW I did change out the crappy 14k coralife bulb that came with the HQI for Pheonix. Looks WAY better. The Coralife looks more like a 10k than a 14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daleroller Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Nice tank, now that it is mine I should take a picture of it and show off some of the livestock I have in it. Right now it is filled with all of the rocks and fish that I put in it for a bedroom setup and it also contains alot of the rock and fish from my office Biocube. I just moved my Salem office to Dallas, Oregon. I have to do construction on my new office and there is no heat in the building, so I have a another Biocube HQI 29 sitting in my storage room filled with cold water, live sand, and some live rocks. The heater that I was using is not big enough to handle the cold temperatures in my office so the water is freezing. I am getting a bigger titanium heater for the tank on Wednesday. The heater that you sold me with the Biocube that is in my bedroom was defective and kept electrocuting me. When I get the water warmed up in the office tank I can get some of the rock and livestock out of the now way overcrowded Biocube that you sold me and take pictures of it. I really love the live rock that you gave me. Really made a nice wall for the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
