Nice tank, lookin' good!

I like how open it looks and how much bigger it looks than it actually is. Have to do some aquascaping on mine to open it up a bit.

Thanks! My orange fungia is normally pushed so far up against the glass but my randall's pistol shrimp dug a big mound of sand that pushed it forward. He'll use loose mushrooms to block off entrances to his tunnels too. I could watch him all day.

That is very nice! What is your lighting setup?

 

[AdriftQuasar]

Very beautiful, how are your chambers set-up? Have you done any upgrades to the cube at all?

 

[trentula77]

theop- my lighting setup is just the stock 2x24W 50/50 PCl ighting. My 12 is an older model that didnt come with moonlights so I did add 2 LEDs just like newer models.

AdriftQuasar- I have LR rubble in chambers 1 and 2. In chamber 3 I have a MJ900 whose output is connected to a hydor. I did the cassette tape mod for the surface skimmer.

How is your bio load holding up with three fish? I am looking to add a another fish to my 12 gallon with 2 fish already. But anyway Very nice tank.

That is really nice.

Nice looking tank. Especially nice red zoas, I wish I could find that variation locally. How old is the tank?

 

[klhscooter]

hgbarwick- my bioload is doing fine with 3 fish; but as you know, no two systems are alike. Do you have a bicolor blenny in your 12? I've been wanting a bicolor for my 24.


CamBarr, king4345, klhscooter, MarvinsReef- thanks for your compliments.

bil2k- yeah these zoas are rapid growers. the tank is 1.5 yrs old.

 

[hgbarwick]

Yes I do have a icolor Blenny in my 12 gallon. He hasn't nipped any of my corals in my tank.

I probably have around 10 lbs of LR, but in chambers 1 and 2 I have them filled with LR rubble so I probably have ~12lbs total in the system.

I just wanted to give an update on my tank. I no longer have the mated pair of Oscellaris clowns. I traded them for a true percula clown at my LFS to go with my other true perc in my 24 nano. It was hard to let them go cause I've had them for so long but they outgrew the tank.
I've recently added a pom pom crab and a geometic pygmy hawkfish. They are great additions. I love it when the pom pom scurries around the tank waving his anenomes at anything that gets to close for his comfort. The geometric pygmy hawk is very stealth and sly. I love it when he perches in the branches of my finger leather and swoops down on his prey (mysis shrimp).
I also have added some xenia and zoanthids.
