12G Nanocube reef 2 months old

[saltyguy]

I got a good deal on this 12G nanocube. It's the older model so it only has the single 24w pc bulb. I plan on upgrading with another 24w retrofit. Finished cycle about a week ago and I am adding some frags I had from my 75 reef. Let me know what u guys thinks so far.

your rockwork is really great!

 

[saltyguy]

Thanks Mimzy. The white thing is my magfloat scrapper. Here are a couple better pics.

Very nice! Thes small tanks are so hard to aquascape, you did a really good job. One thing, get yourself a nimble magnet cleaner. They are super small and do a great job in the corners of the nanocubes.

ohhhhh thank you! Jacksdad!
Saltyguy - what's your list of inhabs so far?

 

[saltyguy]

Right now I have
Green Star polyps
3 different type zoa frags
Finger Leather
2 Hermit crabs

 

[mimzy]

only 2 hermies??? :scared:
I've got FIVE and it's nowhere near enough. I'm actually picking up some more this weekend (I hope), along with some bubmle bee snails, if I can find 'em.
do u plan on adding fish? A purple firefish or 2 clown gobies would look AWESOME in there!
I love how neat everything looks. Mine's a bit of a mess at the moment.

New pic after I added a little more live rock and a some rearranging.

I like the new look,unconventional like mine...very nice!

The only thing I would suggest is tightening up the structure just a bit so a magnet or scraper will be able to get the glass on the right.As algae starts to grow you will want to clean it,and that spot won't be accessible.

looks great. How long have the corals been in?

 

[saltyguy]

Thanks for the reply's I put the corals in right after cycle so they have been in for about 2 weeks now.
