Dakotas 29Biocube

[dakotasreef]

Well I decided to setup a tank for my higher end livestock, primarily softies and lps. I had previously had some of them im my sps tank and frag tank, but seemed to suffer from what I can gather is lack of nutrients.

I went through the normal setup and cycling procedures. Now before setup, I removed the false floor and bioballs and installed an Aquaticlife 115 skimmer in chamber 1. After running for a month I installed Chemi-pure elite in chamber 2. Installed a Ecotech Mp10wes

The first addition was a red fire fish. Shortly after I picked up a pair of Black Ice clowns from Kris @alphacorals.

Then I decided to upgrade my lighting with a Rapidled diy kit.

Next I had the opportunity to pick up a flame BTA.

Next I started to transfer over frags of things I had and started looking for more stuff.

I am so happy that I set this up. My chalices and softies have really taken off. I have some more rock cycling in my larger tank to add some height to the rock work. I intend to leave as much open space as possible for corals to grow on rocks and plugs on the sand.

Comments and questions welcomed:)

What are the Orange Acans? They look bright. Great looking stuff.

Yes, they are cycling in my 120's sump right now.

Copy that! I feel like the colors look better by the day in this tank.

I had the been feeding the NLS micro food, but the acans always spit them out. I just ordered fauna marins lps food today for my chalices and other lps.
