My Shallow Cube

[premilove]

The blue is starting to come in nicely!

 

[akma]

as you can see, i have almost all my frags on my sand bed. would a sand sifting starfish knock them over?

Nope,
I keep all my acans and lps on my sandbed and it just goes around them. If you see the real estate on the front sandbed theres very little space.
Where in NJ are you located?

I'm in the Matawan/Old Bridge area, about 14 miles southeast of Rutgers New Brunswick. I go to school in South Orange, so I'm around your area the majority of the week.

so i have come to the conclusion that i can no longer add anymore fish to this tank. i think my clowns have become extremely territorial. i have tried adding 4 fish, all of which died within 3 days.

Glad things are coming back! Awesome pics.

 

[premilove]

Thanks! I was having technical difficulties with my light. I wasn't running them long nor strong enough

almost a week later, and one of the mini colonies changed color completely. i hope it's not bleaching! will post a picture up when the lights turn on.

wow let me actually update this..i've been really busy with school. i bought a bunch of mini colonies and it appears that i am now fully stocked and need of an upgrade. i'm debating between a 60 gal 48"x24"x12" or 80 gal rimless 48"x24"x16".

hellllllo

 

[reefshadow]

Looking great, premilove!

I noticed that you never painted your back glass, is this something you wish you had?

Lovely Picasso's BTW.

 

[Darth Wader]

Awesome tank. I have almost the exact same build.
What are you dosing??

 

[reefshadow]

Darth, I've seen your tank on here as well as on youtube. Love it. I'm doing an almost identical build, any tips or things you guys wish you had done before filling?

thanks! it doesn't really bother me. the more i don't look at the tank, the more i don't mess with it, and the happier my corals are lol. however i do wish i went an alternate route for my light mount..

 

[premilove]

thanks man! I'm using aqua vitro products-salinity(wc), ions, calcification, and eight.four however not too much. i have been doing 10 gallon water changes once a week. i recently decided to slow it down to 10 gallons every other week, and 5 gallons in between. i came to the conclusion that changing almost all of the water in a month would be a bad idea lol.
