    Default BioCube Mods

    If you've done some modifications to your BioCube post them here!

    I was looking through my pictures and found these and thought i'd share, maybe help give people ideas for some sweet mods.

    Mybiocube 29g

    Add a float valve for freshwater ATO

    And also Cut the top hood to add a AquaC Ramora Skimmer. I made it so the door would still open and close.

    No pictures, but I've done the NanoTuners 4.36 upgrade to the hood, removed the wall between chambers 1 & 2, and put a hole in the false floor of chamber 1 to fit a heater.

    Why remove the wall between 1&2?

    Increases the flow to chamber 2, which increases the flow to the pump. I was having issues with it going from maximum to minimum (and spewing bubbles) in the span of a day, so rather than topping off every single day I just chopped that open a little more.

    Added a media basket to 2nd chamber-upgraded pump to MJ606=165gph+hydroflow. Mines an 8g so nothing drastic. But I would love the nanotuners mod hood!

    You probably figured this out but it isn't the "wall" just the tab
