Hi all!

This is my 16G Biocube build thread, I wanted a way to keep track of my progress while sharing experiences along the way! Hopefully this will transition into my dream tank build one day but for now this is just a starter tank.

This is a mostly LPS/Softie tank outside of one monti. I hope to add a couple more SPS down the line once the tank is more stable but content with what i have for now.

Setup:
Lighting - Stock LEDs
Powerhead - Aqamai KPS (SPS Max 50L setting)
Heater - Cobalt Neo-therm 100 watt
Filtration - inTank media basket (filter floss, chaeto fuge, purigen, phosbond, seachem matrix)
Live Rock/Substrate - 15lbs mix of caribsea dry & live, 20lbs caribsea hawaiian black aragonite

Livestock & Corals
X2 Darwin Clowns
X1 Green Clown Goby
X1 Nerite Snail
X2 Margarita Snails

I think that's it lol as you'll be able to see in the pics I've had other corals in the tank such as xenia and a Kenya tree but removed them for various reasons. This tank just turned 4 months old last week so it still has a ways to go but I'm happy with where it is so far and look forward to sharing the journey.
