Opinions on my rock scape and coral placement!

[alvssaxo]

I’m new to reefing, just started this biocube 32 in April. I would just like opinions on my scape and coral placement! Please and thank you!

I like it. Corals and nem look to be in the right spots. Not bad for a noob.

I think the aquascape look great, and I like that there are some small caves and hiding places.

One that that looks odd is the detached coral frag on the sand bed. I think it might look nice to nestle that somewhere on the scape.

nice start. Idk what par ur pushing but if it’s more then what that torch was getting then yes better to acclimate it

The flame angel is a classy fish but not the best reef safe option. I’d b careful w the lps and zoas. Good luck.

Looks great. Did the nem move up on its own? Biocubes don’t have the best par and its probably moving up for more light.

It’s a biocube. I’m not sure the par either. And so far so good with the lps and zoas. He destroyed 2 favia frags i had tho. Those were done for.

He was moving everywhere and was at the top of the glass on the side for a couple days so I took an ID card and scraped him off there and put him on the tippy top so he would move his way down a little to where he wanted. I figured he was wanting more light since he was at the top of the glass. He’s been in this spot for a couple days now so I’m hoping he stays

Here is a pic of a par reading on a biocube. Only the red numbers. The blue are when I added led strips. I’ve since upgraded to a g5 30 so I don’t need to worry about par anymore

Thank you! And I’ve been looking for strips. What did you use and how many? And did you just super glue them or how did you do it?

Thank you so much! I’ve been looking for options everywhere without taking the top off.

If I order 2 strips what’s necessary for the separate options such as power supply, dimmer and sunset?

Aquascape looks very similar to mine. I like it
