My 10 gal waterBox Cube Reef build!

And as promised, the teal tipped torch! (Much brighter, but of course whites only for these!)

The hammer needed a buddy! :)
 
Whoops.. terrible connection Tonite.. and the rainbow acan.. he's SOOO tiny!

We got the torch and Acan from Brad at ChaosAquaculture, they have a Facebook and Instagram, but a great webpage with a ton of wysiwyg coral. It was our first time ordering anything online, so we were very nervous, but they did an amazing job packaging them, even went as far as putting the plugs thru little Solo cups, to protect the torch head, ect. We couldn't have been more pleased with the way they handled it. Can't recommend them enough! They came Thurs, it's now Saturday nite, and they look rediculous!! They are beautiful! The Midas zoas are a little ticked, the hermit flipped it onto the sand before I glued them, but they'll be back out for photos another day! Nite reefers!!
 
Forgot to mention, we added chemipure elite, in the 1st chamber, put it in place of a phosgaurd bag I had made when first doing the rack. Also have the Marine pure bio spheres in the 2nd chamber now, and we ordered a tiny light for the top of the aquatop, which now has cheato in it.
 
An update, we went to the frag swap sponsored by masondixon and had a great time. We scored a few acans, and a orange and blue tip hammer. Also a rainbow teal tipped grape coral, and a bunch of zoas for our garden. Some rastas, and blue hornets. Tank is coming together nicely. Bunch of cool gardens going on now!
 
I noticed that I didn't update some tank info. As I use this as a time reference now, I should add that I took the pfuv15 hob off, and went with the good ol trusty aquaclear 70. We turned it into a refugium, as I had done with out old one anyway, I just figured may as well use the extra space, and extra water volume. So now it's in a ac70, with a $18 Amazon grow light taped to the side. All darked out since the tanks in our bedroom. We have had that up and running for two weeks now.
Running chaeto and caulerpa in it currently, we well see which seems to do better, and go with one or the other. Or maybe go with sea lettuce and swap it entirely.. I'm undecided. anyone's Opinions or experience would be great!!
 
We have a few new zoas showing up. All the frags have grown atleast a new polyp. Most two or three. The gardens are all doing great. Hammer garden. Which leads to a grape, and a torch, so really a euphyllia garden, Acan garden we have on the bottom right now, which we are still going to add to, (I love those packed together Acan gardens, hoping for that!) And the zoa garden.
The GSP took hold on the original rock we had it on. Have about 6 polyps there now. We then moved it to the top, to hopefully anchor to the back wall, but it seems to like the rock better, but it has finally taken to the wall. We will see. Goodnite folks!!
 
Now into July, just thought we should update, tanks doing great. Lost a few of the zoas, no colonies, just some shrank a little when we added the better flowing refugium. But they seem to be recovering now.
We just got a gold hammer, and a gold and purple 3 head Acan frag. They are in the display and doing wonderful. Thanks to skyslagooncoral for the sick frags. Great prices, and great customer service. Happy reefing. Have a great 4th of July everyone!!
