mbarton2010 Posted June 6, 2022 Author Share Posted June 6, 2022 Things have been going great in the 60 Cube. New lights and apex fully installed. The pod population in this tank is insane. The glass and rockwork are completely covered in different species of pods. Ive seen a few spaghetti worms, up to 20 stomatella, and a few collonista snails. Coraline algae is starting to grow exponentially. Lawnmower blenny and my Mandarin are super fat and healthy. My bigger dispar Anthia jumped while i was at work One bounce mushroom i have split already and my @WWC Fizzy Pop Bounce Shroom is growing bigger and brighter by the day. All frags are turning into small colonies now. Quote Link to comment

tran Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 very nice setup. i think in a year or so those sps corals will give your tank a nicer look 1 Quote Link to comment
mbarton2010 Posted July 4, 2022 Author Share Posted July 4, 2022 My DKh has stupid high, like 13-14 the past few weeks. I cut off all my dosing except AcroPower and it’s finally down to 10. Calcium is hovering around 450. The colors and polyp extension hasn’t been better 1 Quote Link to comment
mbarton2010 Posted July 4, 2022 Author Share Posted July 4, 2022 Surprisingly, there weren’t any Ill effects of my DKh so high. Just a little color loss. No alk burn or anything Quote Link to comment
mbarton2010 Posted July 7, 2022 Author Share Posted July 7, 2022 Just got a hold of an apogee par meter and measured my tank. I had coral placement spot on! Top of the rock work is 360-400, middle is right around250-300 and the bottom is 130-160. Quote Link to comment
mbarton2010 Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 Just a few updated pics. Everything going strong. Lost an sps Frag. Ithink it was from correcting my alk levels but everything else is doing great this is one of the THOUSANDS of stomatellas in my tank. At night, they literally cover the glass and rocks. It’s crazy 1 Quote Link to comment
mbarton2010 Posted August 15, 2022 Author Share Posted August 15, 2022 not much has been going on with the tank. Have a slight case of bubble algae and some Aiptasia. I got a Tomini Tang and FileFish to take care of those 2 Quote Link to comment
