I do like 30% water changes every month and everything has been fine.
I currently have a snowflake eel, 2 stripe damsels, and a clownfish in there all living strong.
...I really hope you're joking


My biocube sits on the floor of an IT company -- temperature fluctuates a lot, depending on how many people are in the building... Relying on ambient temperature wasn't a choice for me. A 50w heater set to the proper temperature has made all the difference in the world. If I let my tank stay ambient (especially after the LED upgrade), it would range anywhere from 60 degrees up to 74 at any given point of the day. As it stands now, I hold steady at about 77 degrees all the time.

One of the smartest changes I made to my BC8 was the LED upgrade... my evaporation went from about a liter a week, to absolutely 0.
