tysmith's 29 Gallon Biocube Build

tysmith · 03/27/2014, 01:24 PM

Ok, so I've never actually done a build thread but heres my first attempt! I have all the pictures and stuff from my 120G build so I might upload all of that for any of you that might like it.

Well heres the deal. My brother and I both have 14G biocubes that we bought about 6 months ago and decided that instead of taking care of 3 tanks (2x14G and 1x120G) we were going to upgrade to the 29G biocube.

Here are some of the things that I am thinking about doing with the tank:
Changing the filtration (obviously lol)
I am going to attempt to put a gen 2 radion in the hood
I will be adding 1 MP10 maybe 2?
I want to move my reefkeeper lite to my 29 biocube
And set up an ato with my reefkeeper
Am I forgetting anything? (probably!)

Aquascape:
We're going to be using the rock out of the 2 14G
Sand is going to be fiji pink because my 120G has black sand and I want it to be different

Livestock:
2 Clown fish designer I think? I'm not sure I didnt purchase them
1 Yasha Goby
1 Pistol shrimp
The combined cleaning crew out of both tanks
Eventually I would like to move one of the RBTA I have in my 120G to the 29G but I'm trying to wait until it splits so it isn't a gigantic nem!
I also want to but maybe a small fancy clan in the tank? Just a thought at this point

Coral:
I plan on doing zoas and sps

I am probably missing a lot of stuff so if you have any questions please feel free to ask! I will try and get back on here as much as I can! And I will start adding photos soon! Thanks everyone

Sounds like a gem of a build! I would think 1 mp10 would be plenty.

sounds good. I have a radion on mine and like it so far. put my first coral in today so well see how it goes. I also have one mp10. i thought about two and then realized how ridiculous it would be to have that much flow
