..If you haven't been warned already...watch the Pistol Shrimp. They seem to be really good at burrowing under the rocks into the sand and could conceivably shift the entire rock platform...I had more than one cave-in due to a pistol hitchiker in some liverock..finally caught (utilizing a small piece of shrimp in the "trap"), ousted the little mountain wrecker and donated him to the lfs.

yea psitol is long gone, relationship was cool, destruction was not

Nice tank, did you end up getting another fish??

Waiting for these updated pics!

 

[classklown90]

no I havent gotten one yet, im thinking about adding another clown so they pair up, I want to add a black one. I just totally re aquascaoed it today.lll have pictures up tmm or wednesday I promise haha

 

[classklown90]

Your tank looks awesome...I'm thinking about trying to start a biocube myself.

 

[classklown90]

thanks, lpoks alot better in person. I need to get some updated closeups on here. I highly reccomend them, especially as starter tanks and youll have plenty of help on here

 

[abrage22]

Oh I know. Do you have to upgrade the lighting on them to have corals?

 

[classklown90]

No not at all. That's all under stock lighting. I switched the acintic bulb to a different shade of blue but the wattage is the same. The lights are more powerful than most ppl say IMO. I've kept that maze brain coral in there and have seen some growth as well for over 4 months

 

[slitherbomb]

Are you serious? This is stock lighting? Wow! Beautiful! Do you know what type of coral can be kept in here? Low light coral to medium light?

 

[classklown90]

haha yup all stock, thanks a bunch. you can keep medium light corals and lower.

Do you think I could have a decent setup with the 29g cube for under $600? I really can't spend more than that. By the way, your cube is the Oceanic one right?

 

[classklown90]

yes oceanic. and that a depends on how much your setup will cost. if you can get the tank for 300 plus lets say 50 for sand (dont buy "live" sand, buy dry) and maybe 100for rock that puts you at 450-500 leaving you with 100 for some livestock after your cycle

 

[slitherbomb]

Don't forget the test kit, salt, and accessories like a little net to catch your fishies.

 

[classklown90]

true so figure youll have about 50 leftover for a cuc

 

[classklown90]

Tank is doing great. added another small clown and they are paired now. cleaner shrimp went missing : ( but besides that all is well. coraline is looking great!

 

[classklown90]

New scape and random shots
