I still have my smaller 15g nano running in my basement on my FLUVAL canister. That was the holding tank for the clownfish the first 50 days. I only have some rock from the old tank and two large clusters of Waving hands Anthelia in there. I used them for phosphate control but don’t want add any to my bigger cube. I am debating resetting it from scratch and make it just a TORCH tank or all anemones and a clown.

I’m not sure where your located but if you decide to do BTAs, I have a bunch of plain ones I can let go pretty cheap.

3/3/2025 32 Biocube update.
I’ve been reefing for over 20 yrs. Some people don’t agree with me, but I say that your CYCLING is OVER once your tank stabilizes and you get Through the last stages of battling the dreaded hair algae. All the other hurdles are just stages. Ammonia, nitrates, nitrites, Diatoms, red algae, aiptasia and GHA.
Today I finally did my first tank maintenance with no GHA removal needed. The clean up crew have finally conquered and have full control of the tank cleaning.
Corals are growing and the fish are happy.

22 years these clownfish have never EVER hosted anything. I’ve had Nems, hammers even tried small terra cotta pots covered in Anthelia LOL. The past two months they have started to host my ZOAS of all things. I started to notice the male would kiss them individually and watch them close up like he was playing with it. I was starting to think it was getting a buzz off the toxins or something

I Finally get a pic, not the best, of him all snug in the middle of the patch. Sorry the glass is filthy, I’ve been letting it dirt up for the snails lately.
