    I have been asked about the old Biocube - I leak tested it for 3 days (doesn't leak, was actually salt creep from running water level too high) and sold it locally.

    Update right at 1 month 3 weeks.

    Tank is stable and the hair algae really appears to be subsiding - I manually removed last weekend and I'm not seeing regrowth.

    While growth shots aren't that special, I did notice some growth over the last 30 days (January 21 through last night) which tells me my tank is healthy. While I do some testing, over the years I've learned to rely on what I see as a gauge for overall tank health.

    2 of 5 specimens below and first one was a heavily discounted coral as it was distressed when I bought it.

    I was!

    Then I was in Cedar Rapids from 2012 through September 2018 when we moved to West Des Moines.
