do_0b 's 7g starfire cube tank

Hey guys,

 

So i decided to go smaller with a small desktop tank and went with a 7g cube thats 12x12x12.

For filtration i decided to go with just live rocks as I didn't like the look of the HOB filter on a clear back tank.

I do 1g water change every other day and top off daily with ro/di water.

For livestock i have a platinum clownfish, mystery wrasse (to take care of my flatworm infestation), torch coral (2 heads), x-men zoas, blue alien zoa, gsp, blue tort, red and green digita, pink bta, green planet frag, and purple passion paly.

Tank is lit with an ecoxotic 12,000k par38 bulb (2b, 3w) and an MP10wES for flow on reefcrest @ 40%.

Please let me know if you have some tips or suggestion would be greatly appreciated :lol:

 

Here are some pics:

just be sure to take off the hood thingy so the bulb doesn't overheat

You are keeping SPS with no filtration other than water changes? I am very interested to follow this thread, subscribed!

Nice tank. But don't you think you're overexerting your energy too much? Considering a water change every other day seems pretty tiring ahah. You must have time all the time..lol
