Nothing special. In fact I love how natural and “dirty” my tank is(empty shells, I don’t clean the sand, coralline grows wild, etc). I’ve never enjoyed that laboratory clean type of looking tank. Anyone who’s actually dived a real ocean reef will tell you they look nothing like that! That being said here’s my little tank!

The Full Tank Shot!!

Slightly top down shot.

Left side of the cuber.

Right side of the cuber.

The montipora caps are beginning to “smear”.

Stylophora in the back is encrusted to back wall.

My acros are looking really happy!

This acro, like my stylophora, looks terrible in photos but amazing in person!

This is my first acropora, it’s finally starting to get its color back. I got it completely bleached out and almost dead looking and it’s starting to look good and extend its polyps.

The hammer has its own huge space and is a splitting type instead of a budding type.

The acans look great! Time to collect more.

And the scoly is fatter than ever!

Tank will be 1 year old on 3/10/2020.

Thanks for looking!

Nice looking tank. Welcome to the forum. What are you doing to maintain your parameters stable, if you even dose? I agree with you on the laboratory look, it’s certainly unnatural looking.

Thanks. Dosing Tropic Marin all for reef

Nothing wrong with that! Most are still beautiful that way.

So today this happened. Came home and found the tail of one of my peppermint shrimp being slowly consumed by an aiptasia... So who got the last laugh? This is the last aiptasia that was left too! (That I could see anyways). This was also the first aiptasia that I ever saw pop up in my tank. Above this guy is from when I attempted to use f aiptasia. It would work and then a new one would pop out below a week later. Then all hell broke loose and their were tiny aiptasia everywhere. So I finally caved and got three peppermint shrimp. Four days later and I went from about 12 aiptasia to only one left and only two peppermint shrimps. Not sure how the shrimp died. But my six line wrasse might know...

“Wet and Wild Water Change Wednesday” is in full swing! Lol

The cubie got a lot more colorful tonight.

Finally! Green slimer stag horn!!

Miyagi Tort

Bubblegum and green digitata.

That bubblegum tho! I hope it does well!

 

[dontavo27]

That bubblegum should be a hardy piece, that savage ass aptasia is a keeper though lol. I’ve never heard of one doing that.

Update pictures. Old cuber is doing great!

Anyone interested in some dirt cheap red montipora capricornis? DM.

Going to take new videos and photos of tank soon then it’s time to trim it way down.

Tank is looking good

Update.

Overkill engage.

XR30 Blue on a homemade stand because the RMS tank mount does not safely attach to my old BioCube HQi’s stupid rim.

Nice update! Tank is looking great.
