Da Cube Volume 1

[Peter Dietz]

Afternoon fellow reefers. I'm starting my new thread with y'all on my biocube 29 that I picked up from a fellow club member for a whooping $100. It's going to be an LPS, Zoa, Shroom Tank and for my livestock I plan on having a Sub Zero clown, Orange spotted goby, pistol shrimp, and a few more fish to be undecided. Here are the pictures.

Quick update. I think I have enough Ammonia, please let me know if I am wrong.

 

[Peter Dietz]

I can't tell if it's the lighting or if it is the beginning of diatoms. Anyone able to lend an eye? I put in old sand, 2 small pieces of established LR and I've feed the tank. It's been about 1 week.

Here is a link to a video of the tank.

Looks like I had enough. Cycle is well on its way.

 

[Peter Dietz]

No new updates. Still stuck on my stocking list I k ow for sure going to have clowns and a goby shrimp pair but I need something else more active

 

[Daniel@R2R]

Maybe look at a blenny of some type. Maybe a midas blenny? A basslet could also be a good option. Maybe a royal gramma?

 

[Peter Dietz]

The cycle continues

We have life muah muah......

Yes a Blenny. You'll love it!

Found a new friend today....

Now that my tank is cycled what should my next step be? Getting fish or getting Corals

 

[Maritimer]

Going slowly?

I'd consider adding a few more corals, and keeping an eye on your parameters and nutrients. (Then again, I seem to have a habit of always wanting more fish, LOL)

That is some fairly sharp aquascape, BTW!

Thanks Bruce,

Yea I want to add more corals. Want to get more Zoas, a hammer or frogspawn, some mushrooms, and acans

Quick update. Starting to get hair algae and some cyano as well as the last of the diatoms. Plan on getting some Chemipure, a few trochus snails, and a emerald crab.
