28 gallon JBJ Nanocube

Hello everyone this is my latest tank, I broke down the 40 breeder and was out of the game for a while. I'm all set pretty much just a few more corals for the upper part and some zoas for my garden.


Lights


AI Prime HD


On my own 12 hour schedule replicating the BRS AB+ along with a high noon to make sure the higher demand corals get a little more light.


Skimmer


Aquamax HOB 1.5


Heater


Eheim 250w True Temp on a dual controller.


Flow


Echotech MP 10 80% reefcrest durring the day 40% constant at night. Stock JBJ returns on 10 second intervals.


Media


I have my prime attached to the inner wall so I'm able to use my media basket, a felt sock filter in the first chamber then ceramic media and a big bag of carbon in the last chamber.


Fish


Just a Bi**# of a Tomato Clown I've owned for 8 years. I'm unable to add anything else until she passes on lol


Corals


Bi Color Frogspawn

Neon Green Tip Hammer

Starburst Montipora

Fifth Element Blasto

Long Polyp Toadstool Leather

GI Joe Favia

Dragons Envy Favia

GALAXEA....NOT FOR LONG!

Bam Bam and Armor of God Zoas....currently looking for more.

Gold Member Cyphastrea

Branching GSP Growing nicely on the back wall only.


String of Pearl's Macro hiding in the back.

3 months after my first corals I've had a few setbacks with amphipods crawling all over corals, keeping zoas closed and even catching them eating the insides of my zoas after feeding. My new tank inhabitant is a 6 Line Wrasse, hopefully she will show the amphipods who's boss.

This is awesome! I hope my 28 will look this good someday.

Tank update. I moved the torch down to the substrate to make room for more stylos. I purchased a new tomato friend for Nemo a month ago, they have already paired up and host the hammer durring the day and at night each takes a return nozzle on either side of the tank.

Radion XR15 will be here soon. I believe this will help improve coral growth at the sand bed and all around look better than the AI Prime
