That tank is WAY to small for the tang

chrisd925 - 8 years ago

This was not a review like the title says and what filter mod did u make

The guardian Of the light - 8 years ago

How often do you clean it ? And how much did this tank cause you and what it came with when you bought ? Sorry very interested in getting one too

Squash Man!! - 8 years ago

Could I keep a sailfin tang in a 30 or is he temporary

Pigeon 56 - 8 years ago

You can't "stunt" their growth because their organs will keep on growing if their body doesn't keep up, or they will stress out in the small tank and die.

Jordan Santos - 8 years ago

There are two opinions. You can kind of stunt their growth, but if it gets too big, take it back to your LFS, and they’ll hook you up usually.

What lighting schedule do you run?

Jordan Santos - 8 years ago

I’ve switched to a kessil now, but I ran this:

Daylight: 10am-8pm
BeautyMax: 9am-8pm
Blues: 9am-10pm

does the damsel fight with the clowns? i've heard they are a bit aggressive. My son also wants a 'Dory' in our biocube.

Pigeon 56 - 8 years ago

A "Dory" needs a 150+ gallon aquarium because they swim miles and miles in the ocean. "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming" shows that.

Daniel Simon - 8 years ago

Jordan Santos thanks

Jordan Santos - 8 years ago

+Daniel Simon As long as you have the clowns in there first, and the Damsel is smaller, he’ll be fine. Mine never fought them.

Kammi jacob jr - 8 years ago

Just got a 32g bio cube what would you suggest doing with the media rack... IE putting live rock in it chaeto and what filtration are you using?

Jordan Santos - 8 years ago

+Kammi jacob jr I would do a carbon Bag (Chemipure Elite), like 10 bio balls, and the stock filter.

OverClocked Gamer - 8 years ago

dude don't you find it a bit cruel to keep a fish that's going to out grow that tank in a tank that's to small

americanmade80 - 8 years ago

Are you running stock lighting?

Jordan Santos - 8 years ago

Well said. I have a deal with my local fish store where I just bring them back in when they outgrow my tank and swap them for a different fish.

Phil - 8 years ago

Cruel?? Ha. Like myself, you grow them up, enjoy them and sell them when they get bigger. Not rocket science.

SpongeBob Sweatpants - 8 years ago

please speak more loudly. Great tank

can't wait to get my own tank

Rene Diaz - 8 years ago

How often do you add, calcium and magnesium?

Jordan Santos - 8 years ago

+Rene Diaz it really depends on my levels. I just try to keep an eye on it.

Niz2425 - 8 years ago

Beautiful tank! Just a heads up on the tang, but make sure it's constantly got seaweed on a clip. And you may want to invest in a protein skimmer at some point because tangs poop a ton... Would never recommend the standard biocube protein skimmer. Tunze and IM are nice brands.

Michael Litle - 8 years ago

Just an fyi, that tang will get longer than that tank is wide so be prepared to find it a new home.

The Nano Bros - 8 years ago

That angel is not going to survive long. They grow very big and they must have a tank 180+ plus

Ash Greninja MLG pro gamer - 8 years ago

The Nano Bros that’s a sail fin tang

Nice clear water! What do you use to start the cycle and what are in your filtration now?

Jordan Santos - 8 years ago

You really only need to do a 50% water change once a month. I've been doing it about every three weeks though until I get this algae figured out. I also had a parasite kill all of my fish a month ago, so now I did a 90% water change and can hopefully get this thing back up and running like it was in this video.

Pjs fish tanks - 8 years ago

looking good man subbed you love for you to check out some of my videos and let me know what you think

TheMdinkle - 8 years ago

would like to know what you did with filtration? Just picked this tank up a week ago still haven't started setting it up yet cause im thinking of a way to help the filtration process. Thanks

Jordan Santos - 8 years ago

+TheMdinkle sounds like a great setup. I could have sworn I replied to this a couple of days ago, but what I did for filtration is super simple. I took out the bottom shelf and just dumped a bag of bioballs down there. The second shelf has activated carbon Bag, and the top shelf has the stock filter. The Algae seems to have stopped.

TheMdinkle - 8 years ago

the small led is for that algae to grow

TheMdinkle - 8 years ago

so i bought the intank media basket and a small led light. im doing filter floss on top then like a refugium with Chaetomorpha Algae in second and finally a Eshopps AEO19070 Square Foam Aquarium Filter on the bottom of the media basket. next to that im running a bulkreefsupply carbon gfo reactor mini. doesnt fit just the hoses and pump. then a small foam filter leading into chamber 3. complete overkill and dont even know if it will work. just experimenting.....putting some dry rock and water in this weekend so will see

Jordan Santos - 8 years ago

+TheMdinkle I removed the bottom shelf, and poured in a bag of Coral Life bio balls. Then the second shelf up I have a bag of activated carbon that I'll swap out once every other month, and then the top shelf is the stock Biocube filter. It has really worked well for me. Tested my water a couple of days ago and it was perfect. No nitrates, no ammonia, no nothing.

Do your fans run constantly?

Jordan Santos - 8 years ago

+Js YouTube I would super recommend it! Sorry for the late reply. My YouTube stopped sending me notifications for some reason.

Js YouTube - 8 years ago

SuperMarioZombies that was my ? Think I'm buying this tomorrow would you say Hell Yea. Or Naaaa this or 40Breeder?

Jordan Santos - 8 years ago

+SuperMarioZombies they turn on when all of the lights come on, but when it's just blue or blue with the secondary whites, it stays off for the most part.
