Ashevillian's 29g Biocube LED w/ Fuge + RKL+ *updated pics*

The new additions are doing very very well, each have staked out their own den in the LR and they seem to get along very well. I will catch the Occy clown, the six-line, and the flametail all within about 1cm of each other just swimming as a group in the current.

I'd recommend a flametail blenny to everyone. They nip at filamentous algae and keep the tank tidy from unsightly vermitide snail slime trails and he has been nipping at my brown button polyps which I'm glad. I've tried to kill them many times but they keep growing back lol.

Also my frogspawn is only 2 or 3 heads but it's huge, about the size of a baseball. The mother colony is the size of a basketball at least. Very happy with my tank except my Ca is around 500+ so I've been slowly bringing it down to around 420ppm





Camera can not catch this guy's true beauty. Pictures courtesy of google.

 

beautiful. I am so jealous of your coralline. I have all dry rock :/

 

nice

 

Honestly if you really want to get the purple in your tank and don't have the patience of waiting 6+ months try using Kent's Purple Up. It worked for me and now I have sooo much purple

 

Pretty glad everything is going well!

 

about one cap full per week? maybe even twice a week. i still have at least half a bottle and i used it very liberally when i first was cycling my tank

 

Beautiful adds, great equipment list, good luck on eliminating the dead spot in your circulation.

 

Thank you, can't wait to get a real camera with a real lens to finally take real pictures. I feel so lame posting pics that I've taken with my blackberry.

Thanks a lot 2in10! The dead spot isn't as bad as it was the other day, I moved my PH slightly and stirred things up and now it looks a lot better. My skunk shrimp just likes to molt every 2 weeks and his skeleton always floats over and looks scary but I usually leave it be.

Tank is looking amazing, the Euphyllia's are doing great, I want to add something called a Wall Frogspawn. It grows on one huge fat base but it's a type of frogspawn, just doesn't branch and I haven't seen them anywhere before.

I think the huge thing about SW tanks are consistency. Keeping your levels, rocks, flow, parameters all consistent is a huge huge deal. In my FW Planted tank it's basically maintenance free.

Thanks again for the compliments, I've put a lot into this little nano tank. It was basically a replacement for losing two dogs in two months over the spring. (both died from cancer) So definitely have put my heart into this build.

 

My girlfriend and I recorded a nice short video of our aquarium for the first time, hope everyone enjoys!

Hey Ash I just wanted to update you and Biocube on the latest with my overflow. After 9 months of constant running I finally noticed a slight slow down in flow a few hours after a power outage here. I noticed that the overflow was slightly slower than the return pump and over the course of 6 hours the water level was about 1 inch above the overflow inlet tube. I gave the breather upright tube a few sucks to try to re prime or clear and debris. And it is back to flowing like a champ, I picked the overflow up a few times to get the water level high and dropped the overflow back in and it caught up to the correct level quickly. So just some more knowledge to throw your way, keep a eye on her.
