Hello, I too live in the Tampa Bay Area. Not sure if you have been to Corral Coral behind Lowes on Tampa rd/racetrack rd. Great group of guys there that are very helpful. Pretty much price match items too. Just bought my new 120 Deep Blue from them 6 months ago. The best of luck to you. Looks like you are doing it right.

I made a few big decisions today, I purchased Steve's LED upgrade for the Biocube today..it was on a mega sale and i figured i might as well go for it. I also am having him cut a hole in the hood so i can fit the protein skimmer in Chamber 1. Has anyone does this? Also, i purchased in the intank Media basket, dosed my water with OceanMagik and added a 16oz pouch of copepods in there.

You willl love it

Well today the blood red shrimp either killed the cleaner shrimp, or the cleaner shrimp got itself squished in between rocks and the blood red shrimp started to pick at its dead body. It was alive when i went to work 10 hours ago, so seems rather odd. My protein skimmer was sending in crazy amounts of microbubbles in the water through the return pump, im not sure if that has anything to do with it.

I love creative, great prices but on the smaller end. Coral Corral is more than worth the 30-45 minute road trip out there. It's basically a free aquarium haha.

Looks like you're doing alright. You'll have to look into other lighting options once you get addicted to growing coral.
