This is my 93g cube which was begun in December 2017 and slowly built to its current state. I acquired it used . Took some elbow grease but turned out nicely and is virtually maintenance free.

After cleanup, I then began to fill and add sand.

Then I began acquiring live rock, colonies and frags to load the bonsai tree center piece.

Then this past spring, I attended a couple of swap meets and bought several colorful fillers and seeded rock.

and this became the result after two months of growth and feeding.

Might have to make a trip to sheboygan to see this bad boy ;) following along :D
 
Love this!
 
This is gorgeous! Rimless? Lighting? I am a sucker for cubes.
 
Automatic feeder... 9a and 12p.....flake/pellet combo.
Manual feed frozen at 7pm by spoon.
Lights out at 10p and 2x a week i suspend feed reef roids.
 
Do you notice higher nitrates with reef roids? Started using them last week.

Not at all but again if you saw my filtration setup, you'd understand why not
 
I meant I will see a spike with Biocube/ chaeto filtration.
Yikes.... yes you should but not significant unless youre feeding too much of it.
 
That is totally beautiful!!! I love your Bonsai rockwork!! Love the corals you chose, also .
