Well the Biocube is set up and the pump was started at 2:00pm today. Wish me luck! I jumped ahead and used pre-mix water since my RO/DI pump decided to go south! Always something more to buy in this hobby! 😀
Awesome! As for the pump crapping out, sorry about that, but I hope you get it back online!
Had my biocube in garage for few years waiting to be setup and its finely time. Nice video definitely will follow
Where did u get that rock?
Mark Collins Thank you for watching and following! As for the rock, I had it made for me by Jestersix on Instagram. He’s also on Facebook.
Maybe sell it and get English classes.
It doesn't have to be a death cube it could be a wonderful tank. It just depends on your care and maintenance.
Absolutely! The Death Cube was the theme of the tank 🙂
Love this Reef sand and Scull sculpture!!!! Using “one and only “ makes sense too. Thanks for this awesome video!
Thank you very much!!
Awesome video!! Go team Biocube! I’m just about to get my Biocube 32 wet as well, and loved seeing your method!! I also plan to use Biospira and Dr. Tim’s. Would love to hear more about that pump you use to transfer the water into the tank. And what salt did you decide to go with?
Bana Sophia Thank you so much and GO TEAM BIOCUBE! The pump I used is actually a motorized gravel cleaner but can be used to transfer water as well, I found it on amazon for around $20 or so, I can send a link if you’d like? As for salt, I used IO reef crystals because I had some sitting in a bucket and it’s cheap, especially for a cycle. I appreciate your comment and thank you for watching!!
@@SaltFishTV hi. What link is for the pump?
@@crf50crazy hello! Here ya go 😁amzn.to/3bND5Dd
Done cycling?
I set up a 29 this week (26th) with the same 20 pounds of live sand (although pink not black). I mixed salt in the tank as well but I did it without the sand (fear of killing bacteria with hypo salinity) then added the sand - my sand storm just cleared today 😁. As this tank is PC it'll be softies (mostly zoas) unless I retrofit the LEDs I used on my 120 RR. I'm getting ready to add fish (clowns) as they're damsels, hardy, and should be fine as long as I keep up with water changes.
Eric Bell The tank is fully cycled, but I’m waiting just a bit longer to try and skip the gross algae stage, like I had in my Evo. As for the lights, the stock lights can actually support SPS life! I’ve seen documents showing their par and they can grow anything you put in here. I’ve done a few more changes to this tank and I’m going to be uploading an update video on this one very soon!
@@SaltFishTV Thanks! My Biocube is older and has 2x 36w power compacts - it might support some easier SPS but I would change to LEDs if I wanted to move to SPS - I believe the 32 has LEDs? Have reef tanks for years, SPS can get rather large in a healthy environment whereas zoas tend to stay small. Look forward to your next video.
Eric Bell Oh yeah the older ones are not much sps capable as this new LED cube is. I don’t plan to put any sps in this cube, thanks for taking the time to reply and for watching!
Thanks for your help and thanks for teaching me other things that I need and I’m happy your are not boring like other UA-camrs and you are happy and you should be a well known UA-camr thanks 🙏
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m always happy to help where or when I can! Thank you for watching 😁
@@SaltFishTV You should make a giveaway for the tank like you did with the protein thing and if you did a giveaway i will 1000 present join the giveaway but you dont need to if you dont want you to do but it would be a good idea
Fortnite and Minecraft Fun Maybe if I was sponsored, this tank is over $300 brand new. It would be a sweet giveaway for those that are subscribers. Heck, I’d be exited to win one lol.
SaltFishTV agreed
I now have 2 anemones and 2 clown fish
AWSOME CHOICE OF THE SAND COOL NICE ENJOY TAKE CARE,,,
Thank you!
Won one of these a few years ago at our Aquarium club auction sale! You inspired me to get it up and going. Have a 150 gallon salt for 8 years now. The cube will be fun with smaller stuff. Any suggestions what you would do differant as far as set up and what kind of critters? BTW Dude you got some GUNS ON YA!
Man that tank was a score!
Maritza Castro It definitely was!!
ps always use white sand pref, see you doing the black. I now gonna do the PINK or half pink half white blend myself for my Biocube setup! You gonna tweek the lighting and all? I think mine has the refugium in the back.
Thanks for the video!
When do you add the chemi pure blue and filter floss? After it cycles- before livestock?
I add all of that after the tank is finished cycling and after a big water change to get rid of the nitrates. Also, before adding livestock. Thank you for tuning in! 😁
By putting fresh water in the tank, and adding the salt doesn’t it kill all the bacteria on your live sand?
That’s a decent point. I personally wasn’t worried about it as I was adding bottled bacteria as well. This sand I could only find live near me.
@@SaltFishTV I understand your situation. The live sand isn’t a big deal, I set up a 32 biocube yesterday and added a bottle of dr tims today along with the the ammonium chloride. Should be a pretty quick cycle!
@@kylepawelczyk163 Yes! That’s the combo I used as well and the tank was cycled in a week.
@@SaltFishTV how is the tank looking now!?
@@kylepawelczyk163 Check out some of the most recent videos 😁 Was doing great and then I’ve been hit with cyano. It happens.
As soon as I saw the rock I knew it was from Jester6, haven't made an order yet but there's some stuff I'm definitely thinking about getting. How much did it set you back? On a more depressing note, I've had 2 32gal biocubes.....both cracked in the front right. The first time I managed to save most of the coral, second time not so much. Spent last 8 months growing all my coral in 2 other nano cubes, yesterday the 14 gal biocube's pump burned out....killed everything again. Have a love hate relationship with biocube, they got me into the hobby, but have set me back so many times now that I'll never use 1 again. Hopefully you have better luck, I've got a bunch of gear I got for it that I never ended up using, InTank media basket, Steve's LEDs(upgraded hood),etc. Still figuring out what I'm gonna do with it all
Mike Horan Yes! He does make nice recognizable scapes! It was around the 100 mark, so not too bad. As for your biocube situation, that’s terrible and I feel sorry that happened to you. I also hope I have better luck as I haven’t heard any stories like that before, I’m wondering maybe it was the way they were handled during the shipping process to you. So far so good on my end. Maybe it’s a sign for you to just get a bigger tank 😁 lol.
You wanna sell it @Mike Horan
@@sinatra617 Yeah, I gotta go through it all and I'll check back when I have a day off after this weekend
Mike Horan 😔 sorry to hear that bud
Can you show the back how it’s set up and what it brings please. I just got one but I want to know how you have it so I can do the same
I’m pretty sure I did go over it in this video, but here’s another one I made ua-cam.com/video/djdqUD2zHP8/v-deo.html
Great vid! I'm thinking about buying a BioCube. How's the lighting? Also, how often do you do water changes. Thank you.
Thank you! The lighting is really good that comes with it. Nice and bright and I really like the ramp up and ramp down feature. As for water changes, I would do about 10% every week, but all depends on your system and your bioload.
My setup is doing well. Live sand but dry rock. Water changes and things are in line with slightly high Nitrate. Another change or two should do it. When did you start with filter pad, and what more did you add above the balls?
I added filter pad after the cycle was complete and livestock was added, such as the clean up crew. I added a bag of chemi pure blue but recently swapped to a media reactor with charcoal and rowa phos.
Do you call this a death tank out of your choice of decor with the skulls or do you think it’s a bad tank?
It’s the theme. I wouldn’t set up a tank if it’s bad.
@@SaltFishTV that’s what I thought, thanks. I just got one of these and was hoping I didn’t waste my money on something that wasn’t going to work.
@gregwilliams853 These are great tanks right out of the box!
Do you leave the bio balls in the tank once the cycle is complete? In other words does that bag remain on the bottom of your tank for the long term. I haven’t seen that idea for salt but it makes a lot of sense when looking to expedite the cycling process
Oh absolutely. Keep them in there for the entire lifetime of the tank. It’s media for good bacteria to grow and colonize on.
SaltFishTV I also saw you removed your filter floss in order to let as much bacteria build up. When do you introduce the filter floss into your tank?
Kyle K After the cycle. Filter floss is to catch the fish waste and any other floating debris in the tank.
@@SaltFishTV Awesome. Thanks for the quick responses. Im trying to set up my tank practically the same, minus the death cube theme lol. I'm adding the dr Tims one and only and ammonium choloride drops to coincide with it. I also have a bottle of Bio Spira. Would you recommend letting the Dr Tims run its course, and then add the Bio Spira? or would that defeat the purpose of it. Thanks
Kyle Kleinberg You can wait or add at the same time. I waited a few days and then slowly dosed the bio spira over the course of a week. Everyone does it differently, but just how I did it.
Great video! I’ll be emulating your method to include Dr. Tim’s fishless cycle. Part of Dr. Tim’s instructions was to account for water displacement of rock and substrate. Approx 20%. For the BC32 this calculates to 25.6 gallons. My question is would you still do the 4 drops per gallon or half the dose of ammonia as mentioned a previous comment because it’s so potent?
In my experience of using Dr. Tims ammonia, it has been very potent and you don’t want ammonia or nitrite levels to get way too high as it can stall the cycle. Thank you for your comment!! Keep me updated on your success!
Thank you, I will certainly keep,you posted! Subscribed! So maybe one initial feeding (4 drops per gallon) then ride out the cycle or half dose using Dr. Tim’s schedule?
@@williamzuk1246 Thank you! I would do the initial dose of ammonia and then check your levels the next day, that’s just how I did it, but I didn’t follow his schedule to the “T”. I know his way has it where you lower the salinity and slowly raise it I believe.
Hey do you ever have to change the fans on the 32 gallon tank if so what type do you recommend thanks love your tank btw ❤️
Thank you and thank you for your question! This cube is all stock and I intend on keeping it this way. I have only had this tank running since November so nothing has failed me yet 🤞🏻. As for an upgrade, I’m sure a small PC fan would do the trick.
yo dude sweet tank set up! Cant wait to see what you put in this tank! I got you on instagram so ill be keeping my eyes peeled!
Stuart barickman Thank you!! Who are you on Instagram if you don’t mind me asking? I’m excited to see what I’m going to put in there too, it’s all still in planning mode
@@SaltFishTV Stu_Tanks You helped me decide on my WavePump! Keep your channel going! I got my notifications turned on so ill stay tuned
Stuart barickman Oh that’s right! Thanks again for following and watching my videos! Really means a lot to me. I have a few update videos coming soon. I’m way past due lol
@@SaltFishTV Absolutely man! love to see whats happening for you in the future! Wish i had the guts to put my tanks on UA-cam. Keep up the great work!
Stuart barickman I encourage you to post up some videos! I’d like to see videos of your new tank and what becomes of that.
If I was to get already prepped osmosis water, which I get from a reputable fish guy. What kinda precautions should I take in that scenario?
Make sure it is absolutely zero TDS, RODI water before it even touches the tank. Ask them when they replace their filters and make sure they stay on top of it. It’s always better in the long run to get your own unit as you can stay ontop of filter maintenance a lot easier to ensure you have the best water for your reef.
When you did the initial startup, do you recall how much ammonia did you added in?
I suggest dosing half of what is recommended because it’s very potent and will cause nitrate to go really high.
Quick question.. I’m on day 12 of the cycling process where I’ve been fishless cycling with Dr Tim’s ammonium chloride. I added the One and Only, along with a bottle of Bio Spira as well. I dosed the ammonium chloride according to the directions (4drops per gal) and my ammonia’s been able to lower its levels , but my Nitrites have been through the roof and haven’t been able to level off or go down for days now. Was just wondering if you any recommendations?
Oh yeah, that ammonia in a bottle is super potent and I normally dose half or less of the recommend amount. If your nitrite gets too high it can possible stall the cycle and will have to start over. I normally dose the ammonia only once and then let the bacteria do its thing for the cycle. Don’t add anymore ammonia and be patient for another week to see if the ammonia or nitrite will go down.
SaltFishTV thanks, this is extremely useful info
Kyle K You’re welcome, keep me updated on how things go.
Kyle K Also, the nitrite consuming bacteria develop a lot slower than the ammonia consuming bacteria. It takes a little time for the nitrite bacteria to catch up and grow.
Hi salt fish TV I haven’t gave you a update in a while we still have our 2 clown fish daisy and Bruno and now we have 1 anemone and a leather coral we also got a new fish a fire fish goby
That’s great! Did the clowns take to the nem?
You have a video that explained your filtration and light timing and I just can not locate it.
Here’s the link 😁ua-cam.com/video/8ASPw2k3DS0/v-deo.html
Where did you get the Skulls decor? Ive been looking everywhere for something similar and absolutely no luck on my end
Jestersix on Instagram or J6 Jestersix on Facebook is who made it for me.
SaltFishTV appreciate the response, hopefully i get mine to look like yours within the next year :)
I'm almost ready to start my biocube / "covid project". Great videos, thank you! I'm copying your set up shamelessly. :)
Couple questions:
1. do you have any test kit you like and/or regimen? I have a refractometer but nothing else. i need to know when my cycling is done, right??? sorry if dumb question.
2. any cool scape retailers you like? I'm looking for something unique. I like torches so will need to have some height.
For starting out and cycling I just use the API saltwater test kit. That way you can test for ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate. After a few months of cycling is when I would pick up ones to test for alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, and phosphates before adding coral.
Just picked one up and while adding the water I had a leak on the rear right corner ☹️.
oh no! That’s just terrible 😔. As I was filling it up that’s all I kept thinking about, please don’t leak, please don’t leak. Mine traveled to me all the way to Alaska so I was a little worried.
SaltFishTV Lol its nerve racking. I returned it and purchased a Red Sea Nano max so far so good thanks for the Reply.
Whats that thing you are using to put the water in the tank from the bucket called?
It should be listed in the description of this video, but if not then click one of the links to take you to amazon and then search “powered aquarium gravel cleaner”. Works great for tasks like this too.
How is the Coralife Biocube stand? I se mixed reviews online, particle board, it collapses? I just got my 32G, I need a stand. My 90 gallon used to be on a stainless steel chef table with support. Does this Coralife really stand up, or will it drop and crash if I get the particle board wet?
In my personal experience with the amount of time I’ve had it up and running, I haven’t had an issue with it. I also take care and make sure I’m not splashing water out when I’m doing water changes or filter changes. If I do, I wipe it up.
@@SaltFishTV Colo, so the reviews are not as bad as they seem, if one takes care not to douse it in water?
Julian Hunt Oh definitely, that’s with any stand that comes with tanks these days.
Can you post links to where you got the skull rock
He has a profile named JesterSix on Instagram, but he’s also on Facebook with the name J6 Jestersix.
Hi, do you have the link from amazon for the bio-balls? I have the 16 gallon size if that is a difference in the amount of balls, sorry I didn't read through all the comments if you posted it already!
It might be in the comments hidden somewhere lol. Let me go find it for ya

@@SaltFishTV awesome!! thanks again buddy!
@@Copperdog230 Anytime!
Where you get the skull decor from??
ForEverFish He goes by the name Jestersix on Instagram and Facebook.
Background music was really distracting. I wish you showed the part where you added the salt so we could see how hard it was to mix with the skulls in there. Also - hw you measured the amount of water and amount of salt and the salinity. All good things to show to beginners. Other than that good video.
Thank you so much for your feedback! This is exactly why I’m about to start this BioCube over and do a FULL & COMPLETE beginner series on this tank now that I know the ropes a bit more of filming and editing. I really do appreciate this feedback and you are right.
Did I already mess my cycle up? I left the carbon filter it comes with in the tank per dr Tim
Nah. It just depletes faster during the cycle and not really needed as you want the tank to get as dirty as possible for the cycle.
@@SaltFishTVok thank you for the quick reply
Great video! I'm looking to get a 32 biocube with the matching stand, however, the measurements differ. Can I ask what kind of stand you have?
I’m using the biocube 32 stand 🙂
Hi, did you have to do any modifications to the stand by any chance? Because I saw one in person at the store and it felt wobbly. I've seen some videos where some people make alterations to it, thus making it sturdier. However I really didn't want to go through that in hopes of finding an alternative stand.
@@jos123car88 I did no mods to the stand. I assembled it and put the tank on it, I have even moved this tank twice now and the stand is holding up well.
@@SaltFishTV thank you for responding, also might I ask what is the difference between a ceramic bio media ball/ring? Also when should I use a Chemi-pure blue? I thought all you needed was the carbon and the media. Thank you once again.
@@jos123car88 As far as differences for a ceramic ball or ring is the shape and how much water passes through. Things like chemi pure blue do things such as remove organics and phosphate as well. Only add to the system what it needs
are you using a skimmer with this setup ? I was looking at the cube today, the LFS told me it needed a skimmer.
I am not using a skimmer, you don't have to run a skimmer as long as you keep up with weekly water changes. Skimmers only really help with getting excess nutrients out of the tank if you heavily feed all the time or have a super high bio load (too many fish than the tank/biological filtration can handle). I don't run a skimmer on my evo, but many people do anyway. It's not required and my evo does fine with just water changes. So far this cube is also proving to be effective with just water changes.
@@SaltFishTV just getting into the saltwater hobby, I appreciate that info man !
pointnozzleaway No problem and welcome to the hobby! If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask whenever and wherever.
MUSIC DOWN ...PLEASE
LOL Sorry about that. Thanks for watching!
@@SaltFishTV NP continue with Videos
How is the music too loud?
Do you have the link for the pump you used to fill your tank? I'm a newbie to saltwater and about to set up my biocube. How much salt do I use in my 32g to mix with my water? (I'm using distilled). Any advice for a good heater? I looked up the brand you're using and it's expensive right now with everything I need for starting up..trying to find a cheaper alternative. Also, I've been reading online saying that bioballs are nitrate factories and shouldn't be used. What's your input on that? I've always used them in my fresh water tanks..
Joy Pothier Ill post the link in the description of this video so you can click it and go right to it on Amazon. As for how much salt it will take, a genera rule of thumb is 1/2 cup salt to 1 gallon of water, but not all salts are equal so you’ll have to keep adding and testing your salinity to bring it up to at least 1.024 but never higher than 1.026. As for the heater, it’s best to buy the best equipment in the long run as it’ll last you a little longer and a heater is really important in a saltwater aquarium, especially if you plan to put coral in. If the heater fails, it’ll cause everything to die and crash the tank. Try to save up for this heater as it’s one of the good ones and not as expensive as most heaters are. So with bio balls, they are nitrate factories because they tend to trap detritus and thus increasing nitrates, also, you don’t want high nitrates in a reef tank either. It’s a bit different than freshwater. The marinepure balls I use are solely designed to help colonize the bacteria a lot more without being a nitrate factory.
On second thought I’ll just post the link here for the pump:
www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07PMNMW47?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
That's super helpful, thank you! I will invest in a good heater, but dang! Start up is expensive. I'm trying to find live rock on amazon and it's all over $100. Also, I didn't know mediapure balls were different from bioballs. Do you have think for the ones you use?
****link
Joy Pothier Yeah if you’re starting from scratch saltwater isn’t that cheap like starting up freshwater. As for rock it’s always good to put 1lb for every gallon. This is for the biological filtration again, or you can do a minimalist look in the display and then in the back add the marinepure balls. Also check out marine depot, bulk reef supply, saltwateraquarium.com . Websites like that to find some goods! You can even find good dry rock on eBay.
When did you put in the carbon filter? Newbie here - so cycle with biological filtration only? The minute I think I grasp it I find out something and I’m like oh. . . wait a sec. . . 😅
I never used the carbon filter. Also you’re correct, just cycle with the bacteria, rock, bio balls, and sand for the bacteria to colonize on
You put carbon in after it has cycle .the reason why you use high end carbon is because it keeps you water crystal clear if you don't use carbon once tank has cycle and have live stock inside you're water will turn yellow color .so carbon is recommended once inhabitants inside the aquarium
True, however with the correct and ample biological filter. The water will stay clear, a lot of carbon filters can strip the water of needed minerals as well. I use it in times of need or as necessary if I do.
Hey bro you should check out intankeaquatics they have media baskets that are a 1000 times better then the cheap one they use. Where did you get those media balls? Please post the link.
Posted in the description!
@@SaltFishTV thanks for the reply but I hung my fish tank up. Just couldn't get the water parameters straight.
@@sinatra617 oh man sorry to hear. It took me about 4 tries and 4 tanks to really learn the ropes. After the first one didn’t work out I researched a ton and kept trying.
Do you have a link for the skulls
Sorry I do not, he doesn’t really make them anymore
I just went to the beach, picked up some water rocks and sand, shells. I added fish and live rock the next day. I guess people don’t live close to the ocean.
What a luxury!
@@SaltFishTV wait I can do this ?
@@tyannacopeland4426 You can absolutely use the ocean water. They are out there living in it! 🙂
i seen this on amazon, but it is unclear what it comes with, What does it come with?
Tank, return pump, media tray, stock filter pad, and the lid with LEDs. Stands are sold separately along with the heater.
Why do you call it the Death Cube?? 🤔
💀 💀 💀
Hey I got a question, do you recommend this tank for Peacock Mantis Shrimp? I'm a beginner and looking to learn how to take care of aquatic animals
I’ve never kept one before, but I personally think they would do better in a longer than taller aquarium with lots of hiding space. Keep me updated on this as they are pretty cool!
@@SaltFishTV so I've found a better tank which you recommended its the SeaClear 40 gallon acrylic tank thats rectangular with dimensions 36"×15"×15"
I know the minimum requirement for tank size for the Peacock Mantis Shrimp is 25 but I much rather have a tank where it can grow without getting stressed from changing tanks
@@drikonrokon852 Bigger is always better when keeping aquariums. It allows for livestock growth! Nice choice!
@@SaltFishTV Im also gonna do a small pacific reef theme with it since this species lives in both pacific and indian ocean I also found out they are compatible with coral and starfish
Question about the bioballs in the media bag, do they need to be taken out and rinsed off ever now and then or should they be put in the back and left alone
Set it and forget it basically, no need to rinse off.
what water pump did you use??????
The stock BioCube return pump that comes with the tank.
Please send me link to the balls Thank you!

Question: Do you add a skimmer when you add coral?
That’s a great question, that’s completely up to you and your bioload in the tank. I’ve had this tank up for over 6 months now and I don’t run a skimmer at all. Check out my most recent update video on this to see all that I run to keep things moving 😁
Eyyy!!! That’s awesome thanks man! I am soon starting mine and your video is very informative!!! Thanks for the response! You definitely got yourself a sub :)
Jose Estrada Awesome! I’m glad I could help and if you have anymore questions, ask away! Thank you!!
Hey thanks man! Appreciate it
So you're saying with a biological balls. I won't have to run a skimmer. Your fart most knowledgeable person I watch the video on saltwater thank you
That is very possible, 8 months later and I still don’t use a skimmer. It all depends on your bioload and how much you feed. I barely feed my corals and they are flourishing and I only feed my lionfish 3 times a week.
Ray Donovan Typo 🤷🏻♂️
Any update on this tank?
I’ve done plenty of videos on this tank. Take a look at the album playlist for this tank. Thank you!
@@SaltFishTV i already watched em. Great job. May have convinced me to get this tank. Is that stand you have it on the bio cube add on and do you recommend it?
@@jasonludwick3504 Thanks! The stand is the BioCube stand and so far so good, works great.
Do you ever have to replace the bio balls?
WWE 2K Modz That’s a great question, but no, you want to keep them in there as long as you have the tank up because that’s where your beneficial bacteria grow and reproduce on
@@SaltFishTV hey if y'all are WWE fans and aquarium guys maybe you can help.... You know anyone who could make me a fish safe WrestleMania 21 logo for my tank? Yes I'm serious....
Are you useing live rock to?
I didn’t start with live rock in this tank, I used dry rock and then added the bacteria to colonize on it to become live. Essentially live rock is rock that’s been cured and cultured with bacteria already.
I started out with live rock but I don’t think it makes a difference besides some extra bacteria
Sterling Sword Only thing is with live rock, you can get hitchhikers. Good and bad. Dry rock is another way of knowing you won’t be bringing any other critters in than what you put in.
If u were going to start with some beginner fish and star fish what size tank would u recommend and what fish and star fish
MrDarkwolf071 I would not do starfish first because starfish are very picky about the water and of t isn’t good enough they would die within 1 week but good beginner fish are clownfish, fire fish goby, gobies, and some blennies
Whats a fair price for a used 32 bio cube.
I think amazon has them priced pretty decent. Or maybe your local fish store will have a good price.
@@SaltFishTV hello! I meant used like on offer up or Facebook
@@3ktor123 Oh! Well, that can vary a lot as to the condition, if the glass is scratched or not, if it comes with everything from the original packaging or if they upgraded anything and are including those upgrades. Etc etc

You kill the live sand by putting fresh water in it
Good thing there’s bacteria in a bottle 😉
I threw thst ugly media holdet thing away an got an intank media holder
Nice, they are very functional, but for my build it’s not necessary to upgrade anything on this tank.
Oh I see the death cube black sand and skulls I'm like I have 5 of these aquariums
You have 5 BioCube’s!? That’s awesome!
Why do u call it a death cube?
Just because of the theme I have going on in the tank.
You put straight water with no salt because of no livestock??? Remember the live sand you put in??? You just killed all the living bacteria on the sand that you paid extra for! 😂
Not too worried about it seeing I added a couple bottles of bacteria, which is in this video as well. Thank you for your concern though.
Great video.. let gain our channel together!!
