    210 gallon Dream tank

    I have a yellow inch fox face in my sps tank, but I’m holding out for a magnificant foxface (wish list fish) for the 210. When this foxface gets to big for the sps tank I will likely pass him on to someone else. I almost actually bought a gold line rabbit fish petco blossom hill in san jose...

    CF bulb source needed.

    The old biocube ones are extremely hard to find and I don't think are made any longer. There are some on Ebay I saw in the past for sale for the biocube32. I can't speak on them for the 16 size. You would want to identify the pin configuration when searching to ensure any potential replacements...
