    Cool boyesreefs 14 gallon biocube.

    as most of you know, i started my dive into this hobby years ago with the purchase of a brand new 14 gallon biocube fron oceanic systems in october of 2007.

    Oceanic Systems | Products | BioCube

    through the last two years of constent running this system has brought its flaws to life, but has also shown me its relyability. first issue i came across is within a month or two the cooling fans started making noises (salt creep killed 'em). other than that i am beyond impressed with this all-in-one tank set up. the stock pump is running strong, the lights are stil burnin, and it doesnt leak. well, recently i made the "error" or stumbling accross the drsfosterandsmith.com. i ordered about 200 buck of stuff, which was amazing compaired to what i recieved. i bought a koralia 1, a small powerhead for my fuge concept (more about that coming soon), a mag-float scraper, and a 70W viper MH light. the pumps and scraper came in today, and the light is expected soon. the koralia is a great little pump. moves a LOT of water!
    we are all on the long road to our dream tanks, im going slow and enjoying the journey!
