Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I'm so excited to watch you build this!
Im actually going to do a build thread on this one lol. Im notoriously bad about build threads lol.
 
Awesome Mike, what are your plans for it?
Pull all but a handful of LPS out of my 120g and put them in here. I'm probably going to pull my pair of clowns out and put them in here. So it'd be cool to put an anenome that they'd host in it but im not super knowledgeable on nems yet, so I gotta figure out which ones would stay smaller and the biocube could support light wise
 
Me too I always forget to post updates to them. Lol
I get like completely done and go "hmm... thats like.. a half hour of typing.. I didnt take pictures. Lights are off.. wife's asleep... babies crying.. nahhh" 🤣

Clowns love bubble tip nems. I lost mine and my two clowns really miss it.

I'm probably about to go down a rabbit hole very soon haha. Setting it up in place tomorrow so pictures should be coming. Hopefully gulf rock ships Tuesday or so and i'll have the tank running by this weekend!

Such a “rare” coral. I wish I had room for one of those! Looks great under actinic too! Nice fluorescence

Yea, real freaking cute dude. Pretty low blow, setting the bar THAT high THAT fast? Who do you think I am? You really think I could even grow anything halfway comparable? Furthermore, who spends that kind of money on corals? Obviously that one was exceptionally expensive. You think money grows on trees in this house?
🤣 😂
 
Im with Tim. It's inflating to give itself more surface area and reach to get fed. There's something in that food that it loves
My trigger inflates when he eats it too 😉
