Biocube owners
 
Would like to know what corals biocube owners have had long term success with using the regular lighting.

These are the corals that have done best in my biocube 29:
frogspawn
Green mushrooms
purple mushrooms
green star
kenya tree
finger leather

What corals are doing well in your biocube?

I had zoas grow awesome.
Digi sps but it was 1/2 inch from the surface.
Not corals but nems do great.

I have the hqi version so i can pretty much keep what ever I want nicely I'm still trying to get the hang of spa but I certainly have the light to do it.

I have a 14g biocube, stock lights. Zoas grow great, mushrooms and rodactis multiply like crazy, duncans grow well, as does blastos, palys.

Why not also state what fish have done well in the biocube?
In my 29:
-clownfish
-blue/green chromis

Looking to add 1 more fish. Really like the diamond watchman goby.

I have a biocube 14gal in my office at work. People are always over to see it.

have two clowns in there which draw the kids in all the time. The clowns love the fuzzy mushrooms which have grown crazy over the last year....

One orange spot goby.
Green serpent star....which I need to transfer to my home tank....he was tiny 4 years ago and is now a monster.
bunch of hermit crabs and snails.

I am running the original lighting but am switching over to the LED kit over christmas.

RBTA ....
Candy Cane
frog spawn
tons of fuzzy mushrooms.....they are huge.....some are 8 inches across and over lapping ...i need to take some of them home too.

I have kept literally everything in my aquapods/Biocubes over the years.
I also have HQI versions but have also run stock lighting.

Once you optimize the filtration in these tanks and make sure you're mindful of just how few fish should really go into one of these tanks...they are pretty bullet proof.

I ran an aquapod 12 for almost 2 years (70W HQI) with 8 different acros and 3 small clown gobies...there were also a few crocea/maxima and 2 Mandarins.

Come to think of it, that might be the system Ive been the most proud of in my reefkeeping.

Just keep up on the water changes which are fast and easy with these guys.
