FishDooD65 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hello everyone! I wanted share my tank build with the forum and show its progress. It all started with downgrading from my 55 gallon reef and I bought a brand new biocube from dr.s foster and smith. I used new Hawaiian black sand and some fiji and haitian rock I had from my 55.Then I added some more rocks, inverts, and corals.Finally added the fish and rest of my corals from the 55I then moved into my new apartment and bought the biocube stand to keep it nice and cleanAnd now here is the finished product of a lot of time amd effort Link to comment

Nanomaniac Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Tanks look nice. What fish do you currently have in the biocube? Link to comment
FishDooD65 Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 Tanks look nice. What fish do you currently have in the biocube? Thanks! I currently have in the cube a pair of clowns (onyx and picasso), a purple firefish, and a tailspot blenny. I stocked the fish accordingly with the tank size and they all get along great.

FishDooD65 Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 Heres the newest addition to my reef. I got a deal on a nice little derasa clam. Here it is. i also glued all my corals into place on my rocks. i will take a few new shots and post up. Link to comment
Roshan8768 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 You have a nice set of corals... really like some of your LPS pieces. I must ask though what did you do with the giant leather? Frag it out and sell it, or did someone take it as is? Link to comment
FishDooD65 Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Thanks! It was rehomed to a friend's 180 gallon reef tank. Got some new corals today Link to comment

basser1 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Looks good fishdood!! How awesome is it to be able to collect your own stuff in the wild?? Link to comment
FishDooD65 Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 Looks good fishdood!! How awesome is it to be able to collect your own stuff in the wild?? Thanks! Its pretty cool to be able to dive for things but you have to know where to go. Its a lot of searching lol. But if anything there's always fish around to be caught. Link to comment
FishDooD65 Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 Here's a new addition today. The wifey and I went down to the local fish store near our apartment for my weekly water change. I ended up getting my water and she fell in love with this guy. She thought it would add some color to my tank, a yellow cucumber. Link to comment

FishDooD65 Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 On a side note, my clowns seem to be in some kind of battle. They aren't hurting each other but i think they are pairing up finally and sort of battling for dominance. My big clown seems to bully the smaller one around. They don't seem to fight each other badly, but the big one pushes the little one around. The big one also does a weird shake/shimmy. I have a video of this behavior. Link to comment
metrokat Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Yup, they are finding out who gets to be called big mama. The shaking shimmying thing is the little guy trying to please. Link to comment
FishDooD65 Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 Yup, they are finding out who gets to be called big mama. The shaking shimmying thing is the little guy trying to please. its actually the big one that is shaking to the little one Link to comment
