My 40 gallon Cube

[Bleakborn]

So I am kinda late on making this into a thread but the tank turned a year last month so I figured I would do a post on the changes it has gone through over the year!

You can find videos of this tank on my YouTube channel www.youtube.com/thatfrogguy

Right after I set it up (using rock from a 20 gallon aquarium)

Not to long after I adjusted the scape to add more flow and territories

I like the two islands, lots of places for coral to be placed.

Started having algae issues and also added more corals and a clam

This was nearing the 1 year mark

This is it as of last week

Finally starting to win the Algae battle!!!

My reef after the battle with Montipora Eating Nudibranchs, seems the little possum wrasse was enough

Looked Cool in BW so I attached this as well!

On to the Next battle Apitasia... Again...

Back again, after a long battle with Montipora eating nudibranchs (not sure they are all gone yet but the combo of the Possum Wrasse and the Peppermint shrimp has seem to knocked back the numbers a lot.

Now I am battling hair algae again....

The tank was looking good after the most resent algae removal so I figured I would post a pick of the growth!

Lost some of my Acros when I swapped my fish food from Marine Cuisine to Marine Flakes so I switched back.. I would rather deal with the access algae over loosing corals...

It seems that my Montipora eating nudibranch issue has finally ended! I still find that I was having tissue recession but I found that this time my dosing pump had stopped working for a little while... but now I have that under control and we hope to maintain the tank from here on out! Still good growth from last time I posted
