I have stalked this site and learned from countless others besides various youtube videos. I presently have a 32 biocube reef tank up and running for 3 years and I just started a second one in the starting stages of cycling and yet even though I have been to this rodeo I am still reading forums like it is my first time! Funny it seems I am not the only one...I guess we are all looking for the cycling instant holy grail.

Before you say go big, the cubes fit in spaces that won't fit a larger tank so I am a nano reefer for now. My seasoned reef has various zoas, acans, duncans, frogspawn and a hammer, oh and a pulsing zenia..bunch of nassarius which seem to be multiplying, a few hermits which actually are a pain in the neck to my turbos and my best buddy my tuxedo urchin. The three fish are a percula clown, royal gramma and a blue devil that started it all as my school was breaking down their tanks for the summer and needed to rehome him. Those three are originals all approx. 3 years old
Although the three are nasty PIAs, they get along with each other but have killed anything else I have tried to put in the tank. The little terrorists.

Glad to finally step in the ring and personally thank the masses for your past help and probably future help!
 
Welcome aboard!

Welcome! This is such a great site to lurk. I admit it, I'm a lurker!
