29g Biocube Build

Hi Everyone,


I've decided that it was too hard with my work schedule that I couldn't keep 2 reef tanks. So I moved all the corals and the 2 clams from my 90g to my cube. The 90g is going to be a FOWLR. Everything was just moved yesterday and the corals are getting used to their new home and have started opening but not fully opened yet.


Thanks for looking.





Here's a close up of the clams. I figure they will outgrow their home but I'm going to enjoy them while they are here. I've had the Crocea for about 18 months and has just about doubled in size. I've only had the Deresa for about 2 weeks.





I have 3 more corals that I about lost due to my work schedule and juggling 2 tanks but I think I got them saved in time. They are all 3 looking great again and I'm going to give them another couple of weeks to stabalize and then will move them over as well.


I have a Yellow Watchman Goby (will be getting him a Pistol Shrimp Partner) and 2 Misbarred Black Clowns. Along with those I have a Strawberry Crab (don't see him/her until the lights go out) and assorted snails and hermit crabs.


Should be much easier to maintain 1 reef than 2. Hard to keep up with 2 when I'm out of town 2-3 weeks a month.

 

Thanks you!! If I was home more it wouldn't be an issue but I travel so much. I couldn't imagine taking care of 3,4, or 5 tanks even if I was at home. That would be a full time job!!

 

Thanks, I lvoe the Misbars they were just very different from the others I've seen but not $140+ a piece. If I was home more I would love to have 2 reefs but it's just not working out.

 

Thank you! I decided that I could keep 1 really nice reef and make sure it's well taken care of. The 90g is now a FOWLR so I can get some cool fish that would tear up a reef.

I did change the light on the biocube from the HQI it came with (too much heat for a small tank) to Kessil 150W. Have great luck with the Kessil and the corals seem to like it as well.

tHinktank - Those Pulsing Xenias I got from you exploded with growth and look great. Instead of putting those in the biocube I upgraded my refugium lighting and added those to the sump. I hear they do a lot of good eating nasty stuff from your tank.

Thanks again for looking!!
