my biocube

[cbates]

hey all this is my 29g biocube ive had up for about 7 months now. starting to get more comfortable with the hobby and want to expand. this is my first tank so dont be too harsh . about 4 months ago my tank took a crap, i think i started to push the amount of livestock and stressed the tank out so i dont have all the livestock in there now. any advise would be great! hopefully this works with the pics!

Tank is looking great.
I love ricordias, but I havent been able to keep them long.

Thanks! I'll try to take some tomorrow if what it looks like now. Mine are troopers! I've put them thru a ton lol. They kinda took over this rock! How long we're you able to keep them? I wanna say they were one on of my first corals. Besides the GSP

thanks! It's definitely a learning hobby. I think I went overboard on the clean up crew. I have two reef recharge crews from saltwaterfish.com minus the shrimp and clams then like 15 extra turbos

I've only had a few for maybe 5-6 months or so. They seem to bleach out on me. Maybe not enough light. I dont know, they do great, expanding with great color, for a long time and then loose all their color and melt away.
Anyway, maybe I will try them again sometime.

what its looking like now, new additions are a small rose bubble tip anemone and the larger zoo/GSP rock on the right side by the over flows and i took a drive down to oceans by design and met Eric, he was more then happy to help me out and answer all the questions i had. really great crew they had there and i ended up getting a frag of their lunar eclipse zoas. just moved it so stuff got upset. then from saltwaterfish.com i have an open brain, a frag of brain and an assorted leather coming tomorrow

Were you at barrier reefs today? I remember talking to some guy about anemones and remember seeing that tube anemone he showed me.

 

[cbates]

Yeah that was me. Small world. I placed it in a Rock and its stayed there all night and hasn't moved so it should work out good

 

[Fish sauce]

Hope it does. I'm new to this site so haven't uploaded any pictures for you to see how my tank is taking off. I'd recommend getting stronger lights. Some LEDs like you were talking about cause that'll help out the nem a lot. My pc's didn't cut it for the nem so I lost my first one but after the led upgrade, everything is loving it.

Your tank looks sweet. I am just starting my first saltwater tank, a 72 gallon bowfront. I hope mine looks as cool as this in 6 months.

added some more things in the tank, going to hold off for awhile on adding anything. well shoot i say that everytime and it never lasts so we will see!

dont mind the dirty glass! red brain

tang police cant get me! he/shes only about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch so it will be okay for now

 

[Fish sauce]

How's the nem? Looking great. Just added a 2" potters angel in my cube.

 

[cbates]

its doing great, it stayed right where i put it and hes been looking happy. i target fed him some shrimp and he ate. then last night i fed it a half a silverside and no problem so im glad i got it. adds some nice color to the tank. without you probably would of gone home empty handed

You can go by the book but you never know until you try it. I gotta post pics soon to. Been busy all weekend

Looks great , like the landscaping you went with

 

[mrturritos]

Hey cameron, looks like I ran into your thread! You think the tang police can't get to you? I'd watch your back next time you go to petsmart! Joking aside, tank is looking good.

 

[mrturritos]

dude, I can't believe it but I jumped on a deal for a 40breeder, gonna have to do some cleaning up and buying a few new things. But in a few months it should all be squared away!

 

[cbates]

new addition im pretty stoked on!

got two ORA platinum clowns

 

[mrturritos]

Sir, your clowns look like they are bleached..... hopefully they color back up
