New 29g Bio Cube

[LawmanRob]

Just wanted to show off my new Bio Cube. Not 100% with the rock scape. Give me your honest opinions.

How old is that tank?

[Ghetto Man]

I think it looks good. As always, it will look better once coral has grown in, but you've left good areas to work with, and room for the fish to go in and out.

[LawmanRob]

I started the tank last month w/ live rock and live water, cycle took only a week and the LFS had a Half price sale on the corals and fish. I ended up with all of them for just over $300 I just couldn't pass that up. Except the Clowns, wrasse, urchin, and flameback I purchased them seperately.

I think it looks good other than your bridge rock piece in the middle. I think it would look better without that. More of a two island look. It would add a little more depth to the tank.

Looks good. However, you might run into problems w/ the rock pushed up against the back. It will most likely collect detris and debris back there, and you won't be able to get a toothbrush or siphon back there to clean it up. Do you have much flow behind it also? I don't know if you can move it foward without it toppling over. JMHO Like the flameback. Angels are fun to watch b/c they like to swim through gaps in the rockwork.

[blennydude]

I would also add a Koralia 1 to increase your flow for the corals.

[LawmanRob]

It does have enough room for my siphon. I think I am going to move the rock forward a few inches. I don't know any thing about the power heads, I've been thinking about geting a Koralia nano or would that not be enough flow?

Some new pics of my 8g and 29g tanks.

If you notice my star polyps are no longer attached to my rock, they are now a pretty hat for that stinking urchin my wife and mother-n-law just love.

I like your aquascape, nice tank

[mstrpoz]

i would go with a korillia 2

[nwdyr]

I found the 2 , to be more power then needed , I use a 1 in my 28gal JMO...LOVE the rock work!

[azhockeynut]

Damn, Mine is nearing 2 years and does not look that good. you make me want to redo it. I hate my aquascaping. How do you get the pieces to fit so nicely together? superglue gel perhaps or rods?

[Fishinboy84]

what kind of lights are you using in it?

[fstar25]

+1 a k2 would be way too much for my 29g biocube. im using a modded k nano and everything loves it. but a k1 would probably be great.

put the k1 on the lower right coner in the back so the tank can get its max flow.

I just turn the rocks until I find a spot where they fit into place. So far so good if you look at my avatar you can see that my tank gets knocked around a lot, my boys haven't been able to jar any loose..fingers crossed.

Do you guys not think a Nano wouldn't have enough flow? Id rather have corals in my tank .
Im running the stock lighting, but Im one the fence with ordering the 150w MH from fishneedit.com

Thanks to every one for the comments. My tanks are a great way for me to take my mind off all the criminals I have to deal with every day.

Update pics rescaped the rock and no fish for a couple of weeks more due to ICK.
