13g Shallow Cube Nano Reef

So this little guy pretty much eradicated bubble algae from my tank… can’t find any anywhere.
Just hope it doesn’t turn to the dark side and go after my corals..
There is still some Cladophora algae for it to munch on though..

I feel like a lightning fixture upgrade might be in order soon.. I see some corals and anemones stretching their “bodies” up high and I think that this might be a sign that they could use a little more light.

The anemones burned all the lower part of one of my gorgonias and it had to be removed from the rock. The good news is that it seems to be healing already.

In such a small cabinet with limited space, it is very convenient to supplement Calcium, Alkalinity and trace elements with a single pump.
The dosing of Carbo Calcium with Elements A- and K+ have been working out great to keep parameters stable in this tank. No need to dose Magnesium though, as the water changes are enough to replenish it.

Density: 1.024
Alk: 8.0 dKh
Ca: 470 ppm
Mg: 1400 ppm
No3: 1 ppm
Po4: Don’t test anymore.. always measured zero.

I think the tank needed a little more color, specifically blues and yellows..
Solution?? Zoas!!!!

here are some new frags acclimating in the top of the rock.

A long overdue update..
A lot has changed since then. Had to re-scape everything due to corals getting too big.. a good “problem” to have, I guess..

Nicely done. A tank to be very proud of. Nice and clean with good stocking choices.
