Fiesta_reef_time Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Hello All. This tank came strangely to me. Strangely in the way that I had no intention of ever owning it. I bought it on boxing day and set it up yesterday. It's been running for little over 24 hours, and I absolutely love it!!! I want to display it to everyone!! Specifications: Biocube 29 Gallon Cube Lighting: Stock Power Compact Filtration: Stock Bio - Balls + 2 layers of Chemi Pure Elite Heat: Eheim Jag 150W X1 Circulation: Hydor Koralia 429GPH Turn Rate Current Stock List: Bout 20 lbs of Live Rock 20 lbs of Hawaii Black Substrate Frogspawn Hammer Coral Musrooms Toadstool Softie Ricordea Blue Leg Hermit Brown Polyp Zoa AOG Zoa History Earlier I had a 10G. I had it for nearly 2 1/2 years until it was bout time to take her down. But the takedown wasn't planned at all. Went to the LFS to buy a simple HOB for the 10G, came out with a Biocube 29. Which I got for an amazing price. Also bought some Hawaii black substrate to try something new,. The setup was somewhat easier, given that I'm transferring everything from the 10G directly into the new tank (including water). Though an Extra 20 Gallons was required... Parameters Salinity: 1.025 Temp: 80.9F in the day, 80.2-3F in the night Ammonia, Nitrates, Nitrites: 0PPM PH: 8.3-8.4 Calcium: 410 Pics: Bringing Her Home: OLD TANK: Wonderful surface movement Smaller Hammer Larger Hammer With Ricordea Yesterday FTS right after all water was in and aquascaping finished! December 30 New Pics: Enjoy! Will have plenty more pics on the way. I have quite a few trades and sales going in the next few weeks. Camera(s) Used: Nikon D80 50-200mm Nikkor Nikon D800E Any feedback is greatly appreciated! Have a great day! Shawn 1 Link to comment

Fiesta_reef_time Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 Thanks! Unfortunately I've decided to trade off the hammer coral because I've had them for so long now. The frag to the left is going to be traded for an enormous finger leather, and the large frag to the right is being traded to my buddy for an island of Green star polyp measuring 10 inches long by 8 inches wide! Imo a great trade Link to comment

REEFxGNAR Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 You have done an awsome job with the corals in this tank. Link to comment
Ali_Maga Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 You have a very smooth tank! Love the way you grown briareum coral - the green fluo on the right. Looks very nice with the dark moody black coral sand. Any update with the BTA? Keep up the good work! Link to comment
llama roadkill Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Amazing... Now I am not sure if I really need a lighting upgrade for my Biocube when I get it... Link to comment
Super CatPig Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Beautiful colors in there. I love how everything is perfectly on one rock. It makes it look so clean and simple. Link to comment
