My 33 gallon cube. Nothing amazing.

[Curtis72]

Hey guys. This is my first tank and its only about 5 months old. Just wanted to show you guys. Most of the corals are frags so you can't really see them in these ft.'s.
My favorite is the toadstool. I also do have a pair of Clarkii's and a starry blenny that are being shy for picture day:lmao:
Hopefully you like it:dance:

Nice aquascape!

 

[__SKINNY__]

looking great!!! keep up the good work,keep the pic's coming

 

[Curtis72]

Thanks guys! Yeah the aquascape I changed just recently still not happy with the back rock with the frogspawn on it. I would like to make it horizontal with the tank, I used to have a lot more rock in it but I put most of it in my sump.
I will try to get more close up pictures but all I have is a iPhone we will see how good that turns out. haha.

"nothing amazing".... EVERYTHING IS AMAZING! that is a beautiful tank, be proud! i love that frogspawn very pretty green (or hammer, cant really see, i just love the color)

 

[Curtis72]

Haha well nit as amazing as some of these nanos on here! I mean those are amazing! Now I just have to wait a year to get there. Thank you I almost lost that guy. I was doing a water change about a month ago and he just instantly closed up and slimed brown stuff but he came back He used to be twice as big.

A little bit of the stats.
I have a 20L sump with live rock, DSB and chaeto.
150watt ehiem heater.
rio 1400 return.
es50 overflow box.
A DIY led kit.
Mp10 ES.

About it. I do dose alk every once in awhile. All other levels stay pretty consistent.

some more pics.

I have a question for you guys. What do you think would be a good coral for the top left of the tank? Im thinking torch?

Anything SPS!? Not sure on how much light you have..

 

[Curtis72]

I do have a birdsnest. I'm not a huge fan of SPS though. Looking for something that would flow with the flow. I love watching corals move like that.

Duncan.

 

[Mr_N1ce]

Torch coral looks great. But be careful, they don't like much flow and that pump looks like its hitting directly that spot where you want to place it.

 

[Curtis72]

The mp10 is closer to the front then the back. I will get probably medium flow. Mp10 is only on like 70%ish on reef crest.

 

[Curtis72]

Duncan.

I do have a duncan. It just got a new head but its not been opening up fully lately. I think it doesn't like the flow of the mp10 but I've tried moving to two different spots but he still doesn't like it. he looks fine and nothing really bothers him.

 

[iFisch]

Any idea if the left corner is a high flow area? What do you think about a goniopora? Nowadays, they come in a variety of colors and "flow" very well with light to moderate water movement.

2 points of criticism...Paint that return nozzle black with Krylon Fusion and make some sort of black background for the back of the tank. You can buy stuff for it or just use posterboard cut to fit. It will really help the look of the tank. If you take it down for some reason or another, take the time to spray paint the back black. I waited quite a while to paint my tank back and won't make that mistake again. It's too easy and looks too good.

Otherwise, well done. I think you are on your way to a very nice tank. It sure looks good at this point.

I can make it higher flow. Heres a picture. maybe this will clear up where the mp10 is at. I do have some zoas up there right now but I'm going to move them down in front.

I have thought of this. The pvc being white doesn't really bother me. I do wish I did pant the back black but to late now. Doesn't bother me too much now.
Thank you!:fish1:

Curtis, looks like a nice place for a goniopora if your interested.

What kind of things did you have in mind, or do you really like? You mentioned something that "flows" in the tank.. Anything else?

 

[Curtis72]

I do like torches. Goniopora is nice as well but I've heard they don't live very long? I don't know. A Bicolor hammer would look cool. Im not really sure. Anything else you have in mind?
