Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[JoshH]

One of the most amazing small reefs I've seen was a 40B with 2 power heads, a heater, and an ATO. Full blown SPS. There are pictures of it somewhere on R2R but I can't find them anymore.

I'm tempted to set up something similar with a 55g.

Give in to the temptation.. you could use a new project

Umm... Sleep?
I already have everything I would need including the tank, 2 MP40's, heaters, an Apex Jr and lights. Don't think it would cost me a thing other than to build a stand. Heck, I even have plenty of spare rock.
But.. sleep matters!

Got some top down sps shots during my wc last night. Ca is slowly climbing, up to 340 now! Hard to get a good pic of the JF Burnin Banana, the polyps retract as soon as I move the hood.

Building a headboard and footboard for a new bed we just had delivered is a higher priority. Happy wife > Happy reef.

I want to try an acropora next, gonna push my luck with this 100% success rate lol

(seriously: the secret sauce has got to be the metal halide. I’m convinced)

You’ve never lost a frag?

Well if the tools are already out..... might as well.

Never. It was touch and go at the beginning though, everything was bleaching out, I was taking water to the LFS all the time and testing for everything I could, had no idea what was wrong. My first coral, a purple hammer, was slowly dying and I kept moving it trying to make it happy again (which I’m sure made it worse).

turns out it was the simplest possible issue: my temp was way too high due to a faulty thermometer. Once I fixed that it’s been nothing but growth and coloring up ever since.

I would have thought bottomed phosphates.


Well done. Happy sps right there
