If everything goes good with my cube I will prob get a 60 gallon but baby steps. First things first rock this reef in the cube! I'm cycling right now so no fish but I cant wait!!!! Link to comment
Blazzin Reefer Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 Here are my new pics everyone! Everything seems to be doing good. When can I add more fish or coral? Late 2/28/2012 Link to comment
Blazzin Reefer Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 3-4-12 Well I did it! Started buying corals. Picked up a very nice piece of Green Star Polyps and a Torch coral. Added them yesterday and today they are both wide open and look awesome in tank! Also added a Watchman gobie paired with a shrimp. They are doing good Gobies is eating! Shrimp stays in hole under rock. Link to comment
buddythelion Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 What's that pump in the center? I'd put in two koralia nanos, they're really good dispersed flows. Dr Foster's sale ends today! http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod...mp;pcatid=23591 Link to comment

Dr Foster's sale ends today!http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod...mp;pcatid=23591 Its called a Polario 7mlPolario 7MLGot it at lfs when I bought biocube. Its doing a very well job( I think). But can there be to much flow for a torch coral? Sometimes I think it may work a little to good! Coral is open and twice the size as it was at lfs. Its been in my tank for three days. Thanks for your help! Link to comment
Blazzin Reefer Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 Here they are! This is all it will let me do at once more coming! Torch & Green Star Polyps What does everyone think of color and placement? Thanks all! Link to comment

LMAO Most $$$$ thing I have ever owned! Cool I'm glad its going away. I here u on the $$$ I'm glad I went with 29G to keep cost down but still very expensive. If everything goes good with Biocube I may do a 60-100 gallon salt fish set up. Link to comment
FlCandy Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 No not just fish! Go reef with the big tank! Make it your upgrade! I just live bigger tanks, and mine is nice but not HUGE as well. My upgrade will be to a 70-75 whatever I can find a year or so down the road, more lights then as well! LMAO Link to comment
Blazzin Reefer Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 I here u. I guess it depends on how much money i sink into this one, lol. I would love to set up a big one again its just cash. I had a 200g reef in the past and had about 10 grand into it and I dont want to get that deep again, hence 29G BC, LOL!!! Link to comment
banshee Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Looking great! I can't wait to see this develop! What is your plan for the final stock list? I'm wishing I had gone with the 29G now too! Link to comment
basser1 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Looks like the tank is coming along really nice. There are times when I think I'd like to have a larger tank, but I don't think I could convonce the "better half" to go for it. Link to comment
Blazzin Reefer Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 Thank you! My better half is pushing me to do a bigger one and I don't have this one done yet. LOL Looks like the tank is coming along really nice. There are times when I think I'd like to have a larger tank, but I don't think I could convonce the "better half" to go for it. Your tank is awesome! What kind of clowns are those? Link to comment

What kind of clowns are those? Thanks, I've had it going since Sept. '06! I did have a tank crash on Jan. '11, due to a heater exploding in the rear chamber. Lost just about everything, including the bluespot jawfish, and had to start over again. My rockwork still looks the same, but I've gone mostly with SPS as far as corals go. The clowns are ORAs' Picassos. I got these from my LFS before the Picasso craze became popular. They have been with me for well over 4 years and survived the tank crash. I'm looking to make the switch from metal halide to LED. I have a retro set-up from Dave Fason coming in soon and I'm anxious to see how everything will look. I hope I don't lose any of my acro colonies due to bleaching! Here's a more updated thread: http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?...&hl=basser1 Link to comment
