Nice Tank I also have a DB 60 rimless cube with starfire front glass in the works just waiting on my sump to come in and transfer everything from my 90

So went to the LFS thinking I wasn't going to add anything until after my shipment from Cherry Corals came but I needed a few hermits to help with the cleanup. Also picked up a Zoa frag.

Also thank you everyone

(sorry for the double post)

A few additions from the Cherry Corals event, Im kind of disappointed at about the yellow star frogspawn I thought it'd be a way different color, we'll wait and see if it colors up more. Everything else is great

Two more, Also I though my sexy shrimp may have became fish food I hadn't seen him since the first day in the tank. Looks like he was just looking for a buddy hasn't left the hammer since I put it in the tank.

Looks good. Love the hammer

Added an arco, 3 blue/green chromis and peppermint shrimp. Removed some rock the the DT and made a little more room upfront. Can start seeing some coralline growth which I'm really happy about. Almost killed my rastas removing them from the frag got superglue on them. Looks like there starting to recover/open. My sexy shrimp hangs out between my hammer and goniopora. Still not real happy with my frogspawn, its the only one that looks nothing like the picture I order, but oh well it happens.

That sounds like a list but whatever random thoughts while typing

cheers, Chris

Thanks guys, not much has been new have been busy with work. I plan on adding a bit of coral coming up, maybe order or maybe just go buy a bunch of frags from the LFS though they always seem too brown for me.

One thing I am kind of amazed at is how much the acro frag I added has colored up.

few more photos of the tank + one of my pup :bigsmile:

How do you like your Marco rock? Did you use the cement they sell?

I like it a lot it has a bunch of holes where I can shove frags into pretty easy. No I don't have my rock cemented

Really like the color of that goniopora - never seen a blue like that!
