Well mine wouldn't have glass on top. I was thinking of just taking the top off. At the LfS I was at today they have five biocubes set up and I like the one without the lid. We will see I guess

Just bough a red with green eyes war coral while i was there. But leaving the lights off for now to get the algae under control. Almost all my CUC were killed by my pistol. I suspect him of the fish deaths too

Good choice with the war coral, I've got the purple with green eyes and it has grown about a half inch all around since I got it in late August/early septemer

Agreed those do look great! I seen some similar to those and they were wanting $30 for 5 heads, wasn't sure if it was a good price so I held off. I was thinking about a leather also. I like the toadstools just not sure if I have the room or of it would look good

I'm having a bubble algae problem that is getting really annoying. I bought a emerald crab and it died for some reason. I have been scraping them off with the vacuum when I do my water change but they seem to be getting worse

I'm assuming that all your levels are good. Crabs are finicky sometimes. Maybe try another one and lower your light schedule for a day or two. That's what I did and it helped a lot. I shut mine off for the entire day.

I found a add on Craigslist or a 75 gallon "reef ready" tank. All the plumbing and everything. The problem is the lights are a basic fluorescent. Not exactly reef ready. It's selling for 250
