My 29 gallon build has been up for 7 months. Last time I used this was when I was 12 In 2012
this is the biocube 29, right? this looks awesome. definitely my goal. what skimmer are you using?
 
This tank was awesome. Is it just me or did the average tank look a lot better in 2008?
They really did - Coral Frags used to be much bigger than they are now though. I mean, the average colony we find for sale is around a similar size frags once were.

Plus most ppl used real liverock then too which made for more interesting aquascapes and better biodiversity. Plus tanks looked a lot more natural then too which is the aesthetic I prefer. These days most tanks just look like a black light display in the back of a hippie pot shop lol.

I love looking at tanks that were started with real live rock. This is how I started mine (Although I don’t plan on mixing a bunch of coral).
 
Here's my 3.7 gallon shroom tank. It didn't start out as a shroom tank haha. There's a nice little m/m carpet nem, a neon toadstool in the back, and a electric green shroom that's being tormented by the red shrooms sadly.

Inverts are a pair of sexy shrimp, a nassarius, trochus, some asterina, couple small hermits, couple small ceriths, and a healthy pod pop.

I've got a couple small limpets that I've just noticed recently, tank has been up a year.

Equipment is 50 watt controllable heater, reef glass skimmer, ato lite, kessil 80, and a syncra return pump.

I run nano packets of chemipure blue and dose MB7 at water changes. I change a gallon a week. Top off is about a pint to pint and a half per week.

I feed LRS or frozen mysis once or twice a week, mostly to the nem and the leftovers feed the rest of the tank. I lightly feed phyto and plankton on alternating days once or twice a week. The occasional shrimp pellet here and there. It's way easy to degrade the water quality if you aren't judicious with your feeding.

I enjoy this little tank on the days I work from home.

That shot with the Meleagris in the back is stunning.
