My 14g Biocube fish tank

SpmnE9zero · 07-22-2011, 03:13 PM

Very nice looking tank op.
You guys seem like professionals in here..
op I hope you dont mind but I would like to ask you and others a question.
If you want me to delete the post shoot me a pm.

I am currently in the process of building a house with my wife.
I wanted a fish tank incorporated into the basement wall somehow so I decided to make the fish tank one of the walls of my wine cellar.
I am thinking I will leave it so there is no background on the tank so you can still see thru it into the cellar.
I am also debating on whether or not to go salt water or fresh water....
Do you guys prefer salt over fresh or vice versa?

i started to transfer somethings and this light is insanely bright!! it lights up my whole room lol

yorenceramiz · 07-24-2011, 09:45 PM

Nice biocube!!! those little fishtanks are sweet!!
and as to the tank in the wine cellar.
Saltwater all the way... but more specifically a predator tank would be sweet!
Sharks, Stingray, Eel. just adds more badass-ness to the the badass-ness of the wine cellar.

lamia2super · 07-27-2011, 10:25 AM

moved the rocks over and added 2 R2 moon lights and stuck them to the light

Andrew@ET · 08-10-2011, 09:13 PM

My biocube 14 nano customs before I moved and let it go to shit :/

lamia2super · 08-10-2011, 09:18 PM

^NIce sorry to hear it went to shit

Andrew@ET · 08-10-2011, 09:20 PM

yeah :/ I moved and let it go. I'm trying my best to get it back up thought but its full of red bubble algae which has to be picked one by one without popping any. It will drive you nuts after a couple minutes.

Andrew@ET · 08-10-2011, 09:28 PM

Andrew@ET · 08-10-2011, 09:29 PM

No red slime just bubble you really have to scrape them off with your nails. Might just buy all new rock.
