1st Reef experience. Wife & I started hobby so our son can grow up looking at God's creation. Underwater life is just another testimony to an Intelligent Designer! How magnificent & Glorious... the works of our Maker.

12 Gallon Nano Cube DX.

Cycled tank with Garf Grunge from www.garf.org

We named some of our animals.

Katana = clown fish (he's a ninja)
Lips = Target Mandarin Goby (pink lipstick)
Waldo = Emerald Crab (he's hard to find)
Raver = Flaming Scallop (glowsticks)

Deep Sand Bed w/Fiji Live Rock. We like to think that we use the back chamber as a Wannabe sump / refugium setup in the back.

We place a small flourecent in the back @ night. We were told to do that for the macro algae we put back there. Since we've done that... our nitrates dropped to 0.

We also breed copepods back there... food for Lips (mandarin goby)

No Skimmer... we use overflow piece for half of the day.

1 Compact Flourescent 50/50 40watt.
1 Compact Flourescent Actinic 30 watt.
1 blue moon LED

Added a small powerhead for circulation.

Relocated the inflow from back chamber to come in the top center of tank to evenly break up surface water.

Increased Aeration by adding small air pump that feeds air to back chamber.

Gorgonians: unknown yellow carribean, Pacific Palythoa, & unknown Purple

Zoos/Polys: Orange, Green, Yellow/Purple, Pink

Mushrooms: 1 Ricordia Florida (Orange/Purple )

Unkown Clam that came with Orange Zoo Frag

Flaming Scallop
