Looks real nice :] Have you modded the cube at all?

 

[stepho725]

Looks very nice ...is the Valenti Puffer okay in that size tank though?

 

[Luckysfrags]

No I haven't done any mods but I want to get rid of the bio balls and make the middle a fuge.

Yea the puffer is fine in the tank. At the store he was shy and very thin but after a few days In my tank he warmed up to me and is now always out and very nicely plump
I also lucked out

I also lucked out with him seeing as he doesn't eat my corals

That's good news but I just mean that I think you're very limited to what else you can add to the tank now due to his bioload. From the info I've read on them they require a minimum of 35 or 40 gallons and rly in a biocube 29 you're only really getting 24-25ish gallons in your footprint I think....just something to keep in mind as he grows.

Looks good!

Thanks convict

And yea I know he should be in a larger tank due to his bio load but I'm always testing my water and changing a few gallons almost twice a week. I've never had a fish die to poor water quality. Had one due because of my damsel (regret ever getting that bastard, so I gave him to a buddy) and lost my cherub angel to a heater malfunction. Other then that all fish I have are all healthy and happy

And yes I know the sailfin dosnt belong in a cube. I also believe that no tang should go in a cube BUT, I'm getting a 200 gallon tank as soon as I get my house and he will be going in that

 

[Convict2161]

Planning any mods or keeping it simple since you're getting that best one day?

 

[Luckysfrags]

Ill be getting that 200 gallon (Atleast) here within a few months. Roommate and I are going to cut out a wall and install it into the wall talk about buy a house around my fish tank
I might do some mods to it. I wonder if it increases the value of the tank or not. ATM I plan on keeping it as long as I can. Might have a few tanks set up in that place. Ill have Atleast the "beast" tank and a frag tank that I will plumb into the existing tank if I can.
