Has anyone set up the new biocube 32 LED? I am looking for recommendations for the set up. I am downgrading to it for a while. Life is too crazy.
1. My plan is to set up the fuge in chamber two- I have chaeto and rock rubble in my current sump to move over. And going to see if I can fit an aquatic life 115 skimmer. But I am not sure if I should do mechanical filtration as well- folks suggest phosgard, charcoal, and purigen. According to online forums the skimmer won't fit in chamber 1. But I am getting conflicting reports- Intank says it will. So I will have to see. I bought the intank fuge basket and plan to remove the stock one.
2. I am going to try black sand for a change all brand new but everything else is original. And use half of my current Water with fresh since I haven't done a wc in a month it's good timing. All of my LR is going in. Should I cycle it or will it be fine? A lot of my rock has nice softies that in prefer not to kill. I would like to do all the moving in one day if possible. My current system has been running for 4 years. 90gal with 40 breeder fuge
3. Lighting and coral acclimation- I plan to keep my two nems, a bunch of mushrooms and zoas to start and technically I have one forest fire digi I would like to keep- but could sell. Keeping it very simple. The current lights are a 6bulb t5. The new system is the stock LEDs. Anything I should be worried about when I move them over?? (They will likely get an upgrade in a year, bc let's be real, once you are in the hobby, you are always upgrading something.
