Things are still recovering from a crazy alkalinity issue (16.9 at one point!) so I hope everything continues to improve in color and health, but this is where its at right now.

Looking good! What tank is that? Everything stock or did you do some upgrades?

 

[ProfessorX]

Thanks! Its a 12" cube, but I'm not sure what company, I bought it used.
The tank itself was just glass. I added a HOB filter, with a TOMs surface skimmer, a 100gph centrifugal pump, a powerhead, and the light my good friend Richard let me use.

 

[ProfessorX]

oops.

Looking good though the anemone looks bleached:cry:

 

[ProfessorX]

I don't think he is bleached. Many LTA are this color, and he appears to be very healthy. He ate a bunch of rogger's reef food and is reacting well.

The anemone starting moving last night and stung a bunch of stuff including my plate coral. So he went back to the store, and I got 3 hermits, 2 Astrea snails, and a peppermint shrimp to make up for it. Hopefully they will handle some of the HA I'm starting to get.

I will probably try again when I have the tank a bit more dialed in, and probably go with a RBTA this time around

Are running anymore flow on this beside the HOB?

 

[ProfessorX]

Well this tank has been shut down for a couple years, but I was running an extra powerhead as well

Are running anymore flow on this beside the HOB?
