24G nanocube Pics

[JustinReef]

These are pics of my new 24G nanocube. Its been up for 3 weeks now and I have slowly began adding some softies! It has 30lbs of LR, not much in the filter besides some Purigen and a Nitrate sponge. I have one Fire Shrimp in there but No fish yet as I want to get the reef established before introducing any fish. I will probably add two clown eventually...

Looks great, you'll love the tank.

Looks like you don't have a surface skimmer to go over the intake into the back chambers. If it didn't come with one you can order it, it would help to keep your water level the same in the display.

Is your water line over 1/2 inch below the top of the black trim?

Actually I do have one, just removed it the other day during a water change and forgot to replace it...Thanks for reminding me! Yes the water is a bit low right now...My RO unit is broken so I am waiting on a delivery of RO water in a few days!

Anyone ever kept a pagoda (hard coral at top) in a nanocube before? Just wondering how it will do?

Good thing on getting corals in there first. Eric Borneman was just speaking on this subject at out local reefer meeting. Corals first, fish second. I like that idea.

Anyone have any ideas on what to add to this? Im looking for more softies probably...Lots of colors!

i have a pagoda cup in my 24g ap with the power compact lighting. no problems and the polyps extend pretty well!

I have a turbinaria, similar to a pagoda cup I think.

One thing that does very well under PC's is Blasto Welsi's, I have 5 in my tank now and are some of the more colorful pieces but they can cost between $40-$70 each.
