bamainva February 2, 2009 February 2, 2009 Going to start tracking the growth of the other 29g Biocube that I have. I switched over to T5s almost a month ago and decided to start a tank thread on it. Current livestock... Canary Blenny Neon Goby Carpenter Wrasse YWG So here are some pictures that hopefully over time I can go back and either say..that was a small tank (if I upgrade) or that is some impressive growth. FTS 2.2.09 Nucs Some RPE and green polyp colt coral I believe (my pics are definitely not the best) My GSP wall Some new things I was able to get since upgrading the lights... :-) Thanks, Mike
ReeferMan February 2, 2009 February 2, 2009 Pictures of this tank dont do it justice. One of the nicest Nanos I have seen!

st9z February 2, 2009 February 2, 2009 hi! Very nice nano tank. I was thinking of setting up a BC14 with T5 lights. Did you buy a fixture or is it a DIY lighting?
bamainva February 2, 2009 Author February 2, 2009 hi!Very nice nano tank. I was thinking of setting up a BC14 with T5 lights. Did you buy a fixture or is it a DIY lighting? Niki, I ended up buying the fixture...Nova Extreme. It was pretty diffucult finding a 20in t5 fixture. You are limited on the bulbs...have only found a few 16.5in T5 lights. Thanks Mike
st9z February 4, 2009 February 4, 2009 Mike, What kind of stand are you using for ur BC? Thanks, NIKI
bamainva February 4, 2009 Author February 4, 2009 Mike,What kind of stand are you using for ur BC? Thanks, NIKI Niki, The stand that came with the 29g biocube. Thanks Mike
st9z February 5, 2009 February 5, 2009 Niki, The stand that came with the 29g biocube. Thanks Mike I see. I need a stand for the 24 gallon but I don't want to buy the stand that comes with it. But I am afraid if I buy any stand it would collaspe because of the weight from the nano.

But I am afraid if I buy any stand it would collaspe because of the weight from the nano. Agreed...that was a concern when I had the 12g aquapod it didn't look as stable as the BC 29. I always got nervous when the kids would get close to the tank. I think the the stand that came with the BC 29 is sturdy and I haven't had any issues with it. Are you still looking at the BC 14? Mike
reefchick February 5, 2009 February 5, 2009 I have a 12g Nano Cube stand that I got for Christmas but I cant use it - i actually have a 12g This is the one I have if anyone wants to buy it - Its set up but I never put my tank on it since the dimensions are slightly off and I was afraid the bottom many not be supported properly. This is the one I have: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod...mp;pcatid=11684

Mike The seller for the BC14 is MIA so I found a member on here that is selling his 24 JBJ Nano cube and I am going to go that route. Now if I can only find a stand for it Edited February 5, 2009 by st9z

El Camaron February 19, 2009 February 19, 2009 that is awesome, i love my tank under T5s, the colors pop.
bamainva February 20, 2009 Author February 20, 2009 Adding an updated FTS and also a DIY Topoff that i put in here, since the evaporation has gradually increased. Full Tank Shot Just a miscellanous shot Here is a pic of the top off...it holds about a gallon of water, so it gives me a week worth of top offs. I put the float in the 3rd chamber of the biocube, so far it has been keeping the salintiy around 1.026-1.027. Thanks Mike
Ziggy953 February 21, 2009 February 21, 2009 IS that a koralia nano you are using in there? IF so are you happy with it? If not what is it?
bamainva February 21, 2009 Author February 21, 2009 IS that a koralia nano you are using in there? IF so are you happy with it? If not what is it? Actually have both a Koralia 1 and a Nano. I just added the Nano a couple weeks ago to get some additional flow. In my other 29g biocube I am just running a 1 and am very happy with it. I had a nano in my 12g aquapod and was very pleased with it. I didn't think it was enough for the 29g though. Thanks Mike
