29 BioCube w/ Rockwall

It has been quite a while since my last post but, still working on this. Everything is doing good. Growth is very slow, not sure what is the deal with that. Here is a few pic

Kinda hard to get a good pic of these two guys, they don't ever stop moving. They are are snowflake clowns, still in the QT. Going to be moving them in a few weeks as long as nothing goes wrong. Had to show them, they are like my pride and joys

This was them almost dead sun corals that I posted earlier in the thread. They have really started to come back from the dead. Even got new heads started.

I actually like the substrate-less look, didn't previously think I would. Should look awesome once there is some more coralline algae.
 
I have been getting quite a bit of coraline algae growth, but have been scraping it off to help spread it around the tank.
The only problem that I am having is that I have very slow growth on everything except the LPS. Even zoas grow super slow, I don't have any idea why.
But at least everything is healthy.
 
I realy like your rock wall I wish that I had thought about doing that before I set up my nano, glad you like your clowns, you guys might be friends for a long time, I have a Maroon Gold Bar Clown female for just over 14 years and a male for 8, they have seen the best of times and the worst of times, started in a 54 bow, a 155 bow, a 225 then a 29 :(. I will insure she lives a ripe old age of 50 in a 800 gallon before long.......anyways looking good!
 
The best thing to use is black pond foam. It's better then regular foam. Nontoxic and doesn't mess with tank honestly.
 
I used zip ties the secure the rock to the egg creat, then I foamed it and then put epoxy over the foam to hold the sand. I used the Great Stuff, the red can for the foam. Wish I would of used the pond foam, might not of had as bad of a cycle as I did. Another thing I would change if I could do over again. I would epoxy the intire wall including the back side. It seals the foam away from the water, I have a few spots that are getting soft where the water has got into the foam.
 
Its been quite a while since I posted last. Still working on the bio cube. I guess I have started a mission to see how much equipment I can install, while maintaining a healthy living environment.

Here is a few new pics of that it looks like.
