So first I would like to apologize. I was extremely inactive for several months due to some person issues as well as work being insanely busy. in the middle of all this, my 60G cube began to split unfortunately. as a result I broke everything down sold most of the contents to friends in the hobby. since things have leveled off and my wife and i plan to move in the near future, i set up a small biocube rather than a larger tank.

This little guy has been up and running for about 8 weeks.
I'm letting the tank tell me when somethings wrong this time. I'm not micro managing anything at all.
I check nitrates once every 7-10 days. 15% water change every two weeks. and a dose of B-IONIC 2part in between

Coraline growth is already taking off on the back wall and glass, corals are all doing very well.

using the standard lights the came with the tank.
all filter media has been removed, with the exception of a small bag of carbon.

will post weekly pics of progress and/or new additions.

Couple new additions today. 6 line wrasse. Hammer coral. Kenya free to help fill the water Column, and a brittle star. LFS likes to call them Tim burton brittle stars with the black and white stripe. Probably my favorite addition to the tank so far. Chromi wasn't camera shy.

Well not 100% sure why, but I lost the torch.
Also broke up the candy cane (was in the process of removing some aiptasia)
And added a cardinal. Never really interested me until I got this one. Really neat little fish.

Crazy how big the willows have gotten.
Battled a pretty bad case of cyano. Finally starting to look normal again.
