Well the biocube was nice for the two weeks I had it. I didn't like the footprint, or the lights. Fortunately I found someone who did. Traded tanks and just filled it up and transferred the livestock. Because I am so smart I had the return line directly on the fuge, blowing sand everywhere. The tank is so cloudy you can't see in. The tank is a deep blue 30 gallon rimless cube. The stand is a work in progress. The original owner did the hard work, leaving me just having to put on panels. For lighting I have a 8 bulb T5 unit. I love T5 and I am very happy to get back into them. Being 16 I have the budget of a 16 year old haha. Things won't come fast but it'll get there eventually. For filtration I have a bigger than basketball piece of chato. I will be getting a skimmer soon. Stock wise I have some random zoa, bubble tip anemone, mushrooms,two clowns, a six line, and a yellow tang. The tang, zoa, 6-line, and mushrooms came with the new tank. I will be talking the tang in for store credit tomorrow. Like I said the tank is cloudy. Like someone filled it with marshmallow fluff.

What do you guys think about adding a mandarin? I know 30 gallons is kind of small, but the fuge is HUGE. It's literally almost the whole sump is a fuge. I have a big piece of chaeto, and plan on adding a lot more. I'd start off by adding 2000 pods, and getting it onto live food.

Woke up to the bta stuck in the pump. Somehow it did not suffer any rips or anything like that. Got it out and it's back to its normal self
