BC 29 Knocking off the cobwebs

hey gang, back at it again. I decided to get my biocube out of storage and put it back up. I don't know yet what I want to put in it. I've got a month to decide while it cycles. cleaned it up, save for some old white patches of algae on the back panel. New gravel mixed with some existing live gravel and a big chunk of dead rock. My first thought was to go with a mantis shrimp.

Toss up some ideas everyone, would like to get some feedback on where this little tank can go!

Hope you're all doing well.

 

Everyone seems to have gotten the bug back at the same time. Nice to see.

Stock lighting?

 

Yes, stock lighting but it seems right before I took the tank down last time I had picked up a 50/50 Actinic bulb instead of a daylight so I have 75% Actinic in there right now so it's a bit blue but otherwise yes.

 

Seems like a Mantis might be the most interesting personality wise. You could add some soft easy corals like GSP or Xenia as they tolerate higher nitrates levels. Lighting does not appear to be too intense for a Mantis.
You could also do a Dwarf Lionfish or Frog Fish themed tank instead.

 

Water clearing up, added a big centerpiece rock.

 

i vote frog fish they are awesome.
