No...This tank is not Drilled.

She originally started as a holding tank but since I had all the equipment already, I decided to use as

frag tank, for the Corals I removed from Maritza The Vase Reef, etc..

We do perform a weekly 10% Water Change, same Temp 79, same S.G. at 1.025.

We do have a Percula Clownfish that no one wanted at the LFS, because she has only 1 eye.

So We took her home and decided to build a Tiny Coral Reef, around her. She's been enjoying it since.

We try to keep all our Systems, as Simple as possible

But simple doesn't mean, not Caring or missing anything

The lights are on for 8hrs. daily.

We do use strips of Poly Filters on the HOB filter, and the Cascade 170 is for extra cross circulation.

The heater is rarely used since it's pretty warm here, even in the Winter months.

We feed the Mika Cyclops, Worms, Mysis and Green Flakes.

We do have Red Dragon and Chaetomorpha growing all over, which keeps our Phosphates and Nitrates

extremely low. So no chemical are needed.

I did cover 2 of the White LED's with Velcro tape, for a more Bluish look.

So it's 6 Blues, 4 Whites. 10 watts really being used by the Cube Reef.

Feel free to ask or comment. If you want to see a video of her, look at my YouTube channel, along with Maritza The Vase Reef.

Thanks for having us here and having a look.

Blessings All.
