Looking good, seems fairly nice for a cube tank, one thing about smaller tanks & you probably heard already but water will change rapidly in these, you can read "0" nitrates this morning & this afternoon have a spike large enough to kill off everything fast. Looks really nice just stay on top of the water changes, do them weekly & don't over stock & you should be very successful.

Looks good! I agree with Scooty...Keep an eye on the smaller scaled tanks. I had a 24gal Aquapod and things can change very rapidly

thanks! as you can see the anemone is getting a little little bit darker lol, but the new sunpod should help it out alot , my max fish stock is probably going to be 3 , my jawfish now and a clownfish pair later on, just did a big 6 gallon siphoning water change and try to do 10-20% weekly

Yep that sounds reasonable, every now & then It would help to do a larger change like 30 or 40%, over time things build up even with smaller consistent changes so plan like every two months change out a larger %!

Well because of the LR and LS I really only have like 19 gallons so the 6 gallon change was 30-40% and I got to siphon out a bunch of light green/brown crap so it worked out really well! My next task is the flatworm exit siphon water change
