Here's mine. Been set up for only about 5 months or so.

 

[MPevine11]

hows you guy's flame angels with coral, do they nip at them?

 

[bassbishop]

Mine nips once in awhile. Mainly the zoos. I keep him well fed so he doesn't do it too often...

 

[ninja_fish]

This is my second one. The first one did and I had to get rid of it. I've only had this one for a couple of days, but so far, so good.

 

[MPevine11]

Ill play along.

I got mine the week it came out. not on purpose.....but because I was moving and had to downgrade from my 45 gallon ULN system......*tear*....heres some pics of my nutrient loaded biocube...argh
It has completly changed since this picture....I started out with about 30lbs of lr....WAY to much.....went down to about 25....still too much.....got rid of the top piece and rearranged a little, added three rock flower nems and a clam...everything is happy except me. lol. the reef octopus BH-100F will fit on the back with some modification.....I am determined to make it work....I just have to find the cash to buy it......unfortunatly college comes first......
