2003mikems 24 gallon biocube.

[2003mikem]

My plans are to house my wife’s white spotted Hawaiian Toby puffer with a few corals.

I purchased A 24 gallon bio cube last night. I will be using live rock and some corals I have left from going form reef to FOLR in my 155 bow.

We have put a bamboo shark egg in the 155, and to keep the shark and puffer well. We bought a Nano to keep Toby in.

I will post pictures in a day or 2, as soon as I weld up the stand for the tank. It will be sitting next to my fish only tank.

I plan to keep the cube stock. The only thing I might add is a skimmer.

I also am going to use plan old tap water. Treated with conditioner.

I just finished the stand. Sorry for the bad pics, they are from my phone.


i just need to put wood on the outside.

well i got the tank on the stand a half full.

and then the front cracked so i had 12-15 gallons of water all over the floor.

Sorry to hear that . How did it happen ??

i just had one crack on me when i was the store after being up for a year atleast there wasn't any fish in it .

[2003mikem]

[bklynmet]

That stinks! Any plans?

[cujion]

man that sucks i just bought one cause my shin mao broke i hope i don't have another tank break if this one breaks I'm done with nanos .

how cold was the water ??

[2003mikem]

the top was all scufed up. i should have returned it. but i dint want to wait.

[2003mikem]

im going to get another 1 and start again.

Ok good and bad news here.ffice:office" />

The LFS is going to give me a refund. I will have to drive 30 miles to get a 29 gallon bio cube. Instead of the 24 gallon aqua pod.
The kicker is the 29 gallon is 30 dollars cheaper and comes with a 29 dollar fish credit.

Also I will have to cut apart the metal stand I made and redo it.

I will post pictures when I have the tank on the stand and ready to fill..

That's good news good luck with this one

Havn't heard of the pods cracking. That sucks. I have the 24 with no problems. I would go with the 29 as well tho. It came out after mine. Good luck!
