The biocube protein skimmer is now being the most popular and acceptable skimmer for its reasonable price and superior performance on nano tanks. In an aquarium, a coralife biocube protein skimmer removes uneaten food, proteins, and organic fish waste before converting them into harmful bacteria like ammonia and nitrite.
Besides this, it aerates the water as well. In this post, I will show you how to set up a biocube protein skimmer correctly and the best way to tune it.
This article may help you : Protein Skimmer For Biocube Unbox the biocube protein skimmer and make sure all the parts are ok and ready to install. There may have shipping issues that may cause broken parts. To destroy any unexpected virus or harmful bacteria, rinse the protein skimmer and its all parts thoroughly with warm water.
They made no mention of doing anything extra to cycle. I want to get into this the right way and start with a good healthy tank so I don't waste money, or hurt any livestock. At this point, what is my next step. I am using the stock lights, running about 8 hours a day right now. I put a dig. My tank reads about 73 in the AM, and 76 at the hottest about 6 PM.
I doubt I even need the heater, as it is at the lowest setting. Any must do mods at this point? Am I on the right track?
I am thinking of putting in some more live rock, maybe replacing the ceramic balls with live rock pieces, and adding a shrimp if needed. Thanks for the help. Let that go for a few weeks then start adding the clean-up crew first not fish. Start with snails and maybe an emerald crab or pistol shrimp, or a few hermit crab.
Your clean up crew will help slowly create your bio-load without straining your system. Run that for a month slowly adding to your CUC until it's about finished. My reef tank ran almost 4 months with just a clean-up crew before adding the first fish. Please contact us with any questions you have. They cover sections 2. Adding Livestock. Now what? It should be placed close to an electrical outlet and out of direct sunlight.
Place your BioCube on a flat, level surface that can support its full weight. Do not underestimate how much a full BioCube can weigh. The BioCube Size 32 is easily over pounds when full. These Stands are designed specifically for BioCubes. Remember, once you fill your aquarium with water, moving the aquarium will only be possible if you first drain the tank. Step 2 The Pump and Filter Cartridge Once the aquarium is in place, pull the power cord connected to the main return pump out of the opening in the canopy located directly above the pump.
Do not plug the pump in yet. Open the bag containing the BioCube Filter Cartridge and rinse it in your sink with tap water. Place the cartridge on top of the media rack in the middle chamber. The BioCube Filter Cartridge should be replaced monthly. Step 3 Sand and Rock Before filling the tank with water, add sand and rock. When choosing rock there are two options: live rock and dry rock.
Live rock is harvested from the ocean floor and has bacteria and other microorganisms living on the surface of the rock. These micro organisms help keep the aquarium clean and provide a natural food source for the fish and corals in the aquarium. All In One Beta 8. BioCube 8. BioCube 29 HQI. Red Sea. Max Max D.
