Coralife BioCube, Aquarium Kit, Integrated 24-hour Timer, Customizable LED Lighting, for Saltwater and Freshwater Environments, 32 Gallon

I've owned fish aquariums for the past 50 years from this 16 gallon BioCube, on up to 75 gallon tanks. Probably most important thing with owning this tank is resist the urge to keep adding fish to it. I keep freshwater small fish, neon tetras, Harlequin Rasboras, Rummy nose tetras, no more than 6 of each, freshwater snail, and two Corydoras Catfish. This fish are all about an inch long and get along together without fighting. The tank can be setup as a saltwater tank or freshwater tank. The tank has a back compartment hidden from view that houses the filter equipment. The filter pump is silent, and the led lighting is beautiful. Please save yourself some aggravation and look up a YouTube video on how to program the lights. The lighting can be set up to mimic a 24 hr day, from dawn to full sunlight and to dusk and off. Can be complicated to set reading the enclosed instructions, so that's why I say a YouTube video will make it easy. You'll have to add a heater to the tank, it doesn't come with one. Also might want to add an airstone in water to help keep water oxygenated and stirred up being as the tank cover is a tight fit and doesn't allow air to hit the surface of it. Because this is a small tank if you want it to stay clean looking, you'll have to clean the glass often inside. I use my hand a a small square sponge, just wash your hands before. I've found the bigger the aquarium the easier to keep clean. This tank also comes in 32 gallon or close to it. I keep this tank at the end of my bed in corner of room, very relaxing to watch at night when lights turn to blue moonlight phase before shutting off for the night.

I have had two of these Coralife BioCube Aquariums for over 20 years and just bought my third. They are durable, easy to keep clean and large enough for a micro environment. I cannot comment on how they are with salt water as I have only been interested in the freshwater tanks, but I can say that with the back filtration system built in and the wonderfully upgraded lighted lid, this tank has always been a showstopper anywhere I place them in the house. When I kept white mountain minnows in one I never had to have any heat but when I switched to a warmer water fish like the tropical guppies and swordtail fish that require a little heat in my area, adding a heater to the back was extremely easy and kept it out of view. I would recommend this tank to anyone - beginner or expert. There are so many opportunities with this tank. Be sure though that you get a larger micro fish or a sponge to cover the intake outlets on the inside of the tank as small fry, and smaller micro fish like the neon tetra can actually get through to the filtration system. ALSO Be sure to fill your tank to check for leakage prior to set up. These tanks are well packaged and cared for in the shipping process, but accidents do happen. Enjoy your new tank!

Looks great ! Size is amazing ! The height especially for sword plants ! Worth the price. Very functional. I made sure I bought this type of tank for my freshwater since it’s meant for salt, less of a hassle ! One thing I learned with the lights sunrise to sunset was phenomenal just don’t leave it on all day I was doing it from 7:30-10:30pm giving it the natural wake up and go to bed but it was promoting algae bloom the water look cloudy so I adjusted to no more the 4 -5 hrs on. The only thing disappointing was the night of the stand they promote it with

I've had my BioCube 32 up and running now for four months. In that time, I have already outgrown it. That said, it's a great way to get your feet wet if you've never kept saltwater fish. Pros: Automatic Lighting. The sunrise, sunset, and different channels are pretty nifty for the money. They don't have the PAR and spectrum to grow SPS, though I suppose if you ran all 3 light channels together for 8-10 hours a day, and put the SPS at the top, center you could keep it alive. All my LPS and soft corals do very well in it, though. I do recommend getting their A/B daily additive to supplement the tank. I do 8 ml each on a daily basis and everything is growing like crazy. It is also a compact, attractive unit, especially paired with the stand. Small footprint, and the all-in-one design means you don't need to hassle with a sump. Cons: WAY too little space in the back chambers. Makes it difficult to perform routine maintenance, especially if (like me) you install the UV sterilizer and protein skimmer. Every. Single. Time. the little sponge between chambers 2/3 clogs with algae, which is often, I can barely get my hand down to pull it up because of the UV on the return pump line. Inevitably, I knock the UV off the return nozzle, or pull it apart from the water hose, and it's horrible to try to re-attach. If you have the skimmer in chamber 1, it often spews microbubbles into the display. Argh. Stock media rack is flimsy and bags of media get stuck in the chamber when you try to remove it. After a while, most people who are into their aquariums exchange the stock rack for an InTank brand media basket. I've done so, and it's WAY better to deal with. Wish I had started out by spending the dough and getting the InTank media basket and Tunze 9001 skimmer instead of the BioCube brand. May still just chunk the BioCube brand skimmer and go that route. Water changes: because of its small volume, you absolutely must stay on top of weekly water changes to avoid nutrient buildup and the problems it causes. That's true of any tank, but especially in a tank this small. I also installed a small auto topoff to combat evaporation. Can't imagine running a tank this size without one. Lid: I'm not sure why they don't put a piston support up under this thing so you can open the lid halfway and it stays up. I end up propping mine halfway with a kitchen utensil. If you open the lid all the way, the lights glare into your face and the tank is dark when you're doing maintenance. Lastly, for the money I spent buying this new, I wish I had gotten a larger used tank to start with off Marketplace and just got a bigger tank to begin with. If you really enjoy the hobby, you'll outgrow it in less than a year. The market value of a used one of these is about $200, even with the stand. I got a 210 gallon system with all the equipment I could ever need for less than a thousand dollars. No need to get that crazy, but I recommend a 75 gallon or more to start with. Then you would have room for while. P.S. Do NOT put a tang in your BioCube unless you have a larger system to transfer it to when it grows. My tang will go into the 210 eventually.

I really love this tank and yes a few MODS made it a bit better and easier to care for in the long rung. In honesty most people will MOD their tanks its just part of the hobby. As a stock tank I think it will work fine too for most people. The lighting system is what you mainly paying for it and a nice tank overall its a good deal. I attached a video matter of fact my Computer is louder then the tank in the video. It was bit cloudy when setting it up but clear up overnight which is 100% normal. Please clean you glass before with maybe a damp sponge before adding anything, I forgot too, I have since cleaned it but would have been easier without the stuff in the tank. Remember no chemicals cleaners on the inside of the glass ever empty or not. MODS are In-Tank media basket and 9001 Tunze skimmer still working on the Tunze. Mustangarrett seemed to have bashed this tank for being as loud as a dirt devil as you can tell in the video it is not. Shipping was done good but would have liked them on the outside box to place fragile or glass on it. It was unmarked, luckily it arrived undamaged. I did have a slight rubbing sound coming from the fan on the 1st night but I accidentally slammed the lid and the sound went away and yes the fan still works. That is a bonus on durability. The discharge hose from the pump was 2 inches too short. I had to float the pump up to connect the discharge tube to the outlet nozzle. Wrote the seller about that issue and they resolved it. Great customer service. I have it placed over my desk on top of the file cabinet, I would normally not suggest a full tank on a desk but seems to be working good I did a standing/ bouncing test on my desk before attempting this. All in all very happy camper after 3 weeks of research I do not regret my 1st saltwater tank purchase at all.

We have two of these. The first one, purchased two years ago, started to fail as soon as we got it. First, the power filter failed. We did frequent water changes until we installed an external power filter. Then, the pump failed. Last week, the lights went out. The second aquarium we purchased over a year ago is doing great. Fish are happy, and the plants grow like crazy with hardly any maintenance. I think we just got a lemon with the first one. Call me crazy, but I just purchased a third biocube because I love the look, and it fits into the space we already have for it.

Great aio setup. I added a fulval 207 canister filter and a protein skimmer. So far so good. No fish as of yet, letting it cycle before I add marine fish

Everything was as it should be easy set up easy directions to follow just go step-by-step. You should be fine.

Perfect set up for beginner, easy to set up and had everything I needed to get startes

Buscando un acuario con luces Led para cuidar mi consumo de luz, encontré esta opción a un muy buen precio y con todo para reiniciar mi afición, con muchas características muy atractivas. Timer para el manejo de los leds, simulación de amanecer y atardecer, elementos de filtrado ocultos y con muchas opciones para usar distintos filtros químicos y biológicos, el mecánico viene incluido, buen tamaño, muy buena visualización de todo los habitantes del acuario, como las principales. La única queja es el ruido que produce el ventilador de la tapa para la luces Led, pero parece que hay opciones de conseguir un ventilador mas silencioso, que aún tengo que resolver. En general una muy buena compra y el servicio de Amazon me dejo muy satisfecho.

Muy lindo el tanque pero la luz de la lámpara es insuficiente y ha echo que mis corales pierdan algo de color

good size to work with
