Nice tank! I did note an aiptasia anemone in your 3rd pic. Don't let it slowly ruin your beautiful tank.

*** Update***
Alright, I think it's finally time for an update on my biocube. I've made a lot of changes over the past year! For lighting, I switched over to a kessil and absolutely love this light. I also re-aquascaped the tank and added an algae scrubber.

Currently I have 3 fish. My clownfish is still doing great and he's grown a lot. New additions include a chromis and my favorite, a mandarin. I built a version of PaulB's mandarin feeder to keep him fed.

So far he loves it and he's stayed fat and happy . I also feed him white worms.

I've just started adding a few pieces of sps, but have stayed mostly with soft and lps corals. One of my favorites is the chalice. I also experienced just how aggressive they can be when it nearly killed my favia .

Another recent change has been the algae scrubber. It's been up and running for about 2 months now and I'm just starting to get some decent growth.

I've had some trouble with cyano so hopefully it will help take care of it.

Thanks for stopping by and happy reefing!
