It's beautiful.
What are you using for light?

Love seeing the natural non-blue lights. Tank looks amazing.

Very nice. I set up a Biocube for my mom, and I’m actually upgrading her to a different tank. Numbers are great, it has good flow, but corals don’t seem to like it at all. The Zoas and leathers are doing great, even the blastos, but the Euphyllia (which are her favorite) just don’t last. The set up is identical to one of my nanos (a Red Sea Cube), and the Euphyllia are doing great.

She loved the shape and size of the Biocube, but thankfully when I took her to a LFS she found a Fiji Cube reef system she loved.

Yours looks awesome though!

I very much appreciate that there are no frag plugs visible - really adds to the natural look. Well done!

I only have 1 coral in this tank on a plug, but you can't really see it, and when I tried to pop it off it started breaking the skeleton.

I'm trying to do the same thing with my corals. Sometimes it's just not possible to remove the plug without breaking the skeleton; in those cases, I trim off as much of the exposed plug as possible to avoid the "perfect round circle with right angle edges" look.

I have everything in here, including Acro and 3 large torches. Everyone seems happy. I upgraded everything in this tank.. basically the only thing left is the glass and fake hood.
