Gal Bio Cube

Jody Siso · 09-16-2007, 08:30 PM

Hi, I have a 29 gal bio cube but I have a few questions if anyone can help. I just got the salt water level where it should be. I'm going to put the sand in later. But my questions are the water seems real cold is that normal? And last night I left the flourescent light on all night, but eventually when I have the corals, live rock, and fish the blue-moon lights should be left on correct? So once the tank is ready I'll always have both lights on all the time or do I shut one off after awhile? And does the water eventually warm up?

You will want to install a heater to maintain a constant temperature.

The lighting schedule is your preference but I put my daylight and actinics on from 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM and a blue LED moon light on at night.

Thank You! I'm really new to this whole thing. But you said you leave your light on and actinics what's that?

Sorry! Never mind about the actinics I realize which lights they are.
