    Alright, I'm going to keep this thread short and sweet. Unlike the last one. Only tank updates and such. Anyways for those who weren't following before, this is my biocube 29 reef.

    Equipment:
    Aquaticlife 115 protein skimmer
    Intank media basket with filter floss, purging and LR
    Refugium with chaeto and mangroves
    Stock return pump
    Koralia nano
    Stock PC lights

    Live stock:
    40 lbs of Marco rock
    30 lbs of sand
    2x occy clowns
    1x bangaii cardinal
    1x cherub angel
    Various palythoas
    Kenya tree
    Shrooms
    Torch coral

    Future plans for this tank:
    I'll be upgrading to a 4 bulb t5 Fishneedit fixture to help with heat issues at the end of this month. In August I'll begin loading this tank with Sps.

    Thanks for following, lets try and keep this thread short, sweet and chit-chat-less. :)

    OK I'll bite then.

    I concur, some threads just get out of control with daily chit chat and lol replies that eventually make me less likely to go in to the last page because the substance is diminishing.

    Sounds great. Is there anything new with the tank? I saw the vid, those plays are growing for you, I haven't had much growth with mine.

    Not too much. Still trying to decide between MH or t5. I've got some fans coming in. If they're any good I might do MH.
