IM 15 Nano Cube

Awesome little tank how’s the par with that halide?
Actually about the same as the 16hd I had on first.
The 14K & 20k were the same par.
About 7" off the surface and 8" to the rocks
Was 85 on the bottom without the black sand.
100-107 par at the rocks.
The reflector is pretty minimal but the tank has a nice look.
Phone pic, no filter.
I have to use a 15k filter to get the actual look of my led systems.

The cyphastrea is doing good on the back wall. Ever thought about popping the plug off and gluing to a different spot? Fill in the back faster?

Not really as I am just going to let it growout. I have 5 other systems to keep be occupied in my retirement, lol.
 
I added some bergia's, 3, about 2 months ago. Aptasia just kept multiplying. I counted 20+ easily.
I removed a couple sticks that were being stung to my frag system.
So...... a week ago I added a small file fish. Did not want to as it now makes 3 fish in this system.
Results today I can't find an aptasia. I have a file fish in every sytem for this very reason. I thought I could run the 15 without until aptasia showed themselves.
 
how large is the aiptasia that your file fish is eating? I’ve got a similar outbreak in my cube. Looking for solutions

I had several that were quarter size with many smaller.
Zoom in to see them.
other systems they were much bigger.
In my old 120 I had one 3" diameter that it would not touch.
