    Okay, so I know people have posted mods to their BioCube and what not but this is nothing like that. I want to tell you what I have and would like to know what else I could do to my Biocube. I am pretty much out of ideas what I can do to this tank besides building a sump.

    Here are the current list of mods:
    1. UV Light
    2. Nano Tuner 4.36 (144 Watt) Light upgrade w/ ULV PC Bulbs/ LED light upgrade
    3. Chamber 1 grate re-moved, live rock in chamber 1
    4. Fluval eTech heater w/ digital readout "Chamber 1"
    5. Mediabasket in chamber 2 "Filter, Cheato, Liverock & sponge"
    6. JBJ Nano-Glo LED Fuge Light
    7. Tunze 9002 Skimmer w/ Mediabasket upgrade cup
    8. Hydro 750 & Hydro 250
    9. Removed small damper in chamber 1 to increase waterflow
    10. Soon to be pump upgrade... "Aquaflow"

    Alright people... please tell me what else I can do.. Thanks :)

    It's a BioCube 29.

    I'll post pics asap, I will be tearing down the back chambers to install Cheato on Monday. So by then all the pics will be posted. :)

    Waiting for pics.

    Also, I would read up some threads on sand sifting stars, they eat the infauna in the sand bed and will eventually die of starvation. Not to mention that you'll be down a sand bed. I wouldn't add one to a tank as small and young. They need large established tanks.

    Just my .02¢

    So thaks for the reply, I just scooped him up and he is on his way back to the LFS. I also trapped my Sally Lightfoot, he was killing my other crabs... So out he went... It was a hard catch but since the tank is only a few weeks old I was able to move stuff around to catch him. Oh and he just molted so he was a little sluggish. :-D
