Hello everyone,
I had my first reef tank bank in 2007 with a Biocube 8. It belonged to a friend of mine who bought it for is his kids room but he didn't need it anymore, so he sold it to me fully set up with corals and one clownfish. It wasn't even a year and I wanted to upgrade already. I ended up buying a custom made cube that measured 20x20x20. I basically wanted a Solana, without the cost. Ran that for about 2 years but then I had to tear down for financial reasons. A year later I came back with a 14g Biocube and ran that for several years until my new apartment complex said I couldn't have a tank. Fast forward to today and I've been running my 28 Gallon Nano Cube for 2 months now and it is doing great. (besides the fact that my clown killed my damsel)
Hardware:
28g Nano Cube
2 Cobalt 1200 return pumps
JBJ Protein Skimmer
Heater
Removed the media basket and have Purigen/Chemipure floating in the center fuge
1 MP10
1 AI Prime HD ( Just got it and it's awesome!)
2 Locline split setups
Livestock:
Several softies/LPS/SPS (Don't know any names)
2 Frostbite Clowns
1 Lawnmower Blenny
1 Yellow Clown Goby
1 Blood Red Fire Shrimp
45+ varieties of snails from ReefCleaners
Several pounds of Real Reef Rock
Here are some photos, taken from a camera phone so they aren't the best photos.
