    this is my 6 month old aquapod. currently it has a small fuge in the back with some macro algae to help with the filtering. I have some polyps, brain coral, zoa's, clown goby, zenia, clown fish and mushroom corals. and the normal cleanup crew. it also has 2 par30 leds over it with a lexan top I made. I think it looks good and will post some pics for your opinions.

    Very cool! Nice tank. I like it alot!

    Looks like you have a couple Aptasia popping up. I would hit them with some AptasiaX to kill them before they spread.

    You can squirt them with some pickling lime, and a tiny bit of salt water (make a paste) Kills them quick and easier to get (at least for me) then aptasia-x

    Very nice little cube! I really like the lighting you have. I have never seen those little pendant LEDs. How are all you coral liking them?

    so far the coral seem to love this lighting. they open up nicely when it turns on. I have a peppermint shrimp in the tank and he has been doing his job since put in. have seen several of these bad guys disappear since he went to work.
