Ok so I took the plunge and bought the biocube 32. I bought the InTank media basket and the InTank refugium basket with refugium light from Acke also from InTank.
Im using the Aqamai KP wave maker from Hydor.
35 Lbs of live sand ( the pink stuff, but it’s not pink ), about 25-30 Lbs of dry rock.
It’s been set up since 02-02-20 and on 02-03-20 I poured a bottle of Bio-Spira in the tank. On 02-04-20 I poured a bottle of Coralline Algae in a Bottle (Purple Helix) from ARC Reef.
So I also put a dead deli shrimp in the tank to help to cycle the tank. I’ve done 2 Separate Water tests now and looking pretty good.
ammonia-1.0
nitrite-5.0
nitrate-20
ph-7.8
dkh-10
It will be a little while before I add any livestock, I want all numbers to get to 0, or as much as possible.
So I guess I’m back in, I’m gonna keep it small this time, maybe in a couple of weeks get an ato/awc system as and maybe a auto dosing system.
