Bonebrake's 24 Gal. JBJ Nano Cube!

[bonebrake]

Orange Montipora capricornis, this has grown some too, but proportional to the size it was when I got it, so it is hard to say how much. I am very glad it has retained its awesome color though.

wut lighting system r u using now?

 

[bonebrake]

A 36 watt 10,000 K and a 36 watt true actinic 03 power compact fluorescent lamps and I run them 12 hrs. each day on a timer.

 

[b0bby1]

u have pc's n u have those hard corals. i thought u need like mhs or t5s.

 

[bonebrake]

You can get away with PCs if you are only doing the easier SPS and clams, keep them very close to the lights, and keep your water quality top notch. T5s and metal halides are the real way to do it though.

 

[b0bby1]

i think im gonna upgrade my lighting system to MH's or T5's. wut would you recommend for my 20 gallon? its 24" long.
i was thinkin 150w MH Sunpod, i dont think the 70 would be enough cus my tanks height is 17".

 

[bonebrake]

Definitely go with a 150 watt or even a 250 watt.

Hey Bonebrake, I see you're a PCOM student? I'm graduating from LECOM next month. I'm hoping to get my 55 gal semi stable before starting internship first week of July. You've done an impressive job on yours - especially doing it while in school.

Hey Hefner!

Starting my tank in med school was the best thing I ever did. The maintenance was a great way to take my mind off of things and I took many study breaks staring inside of it; probably more than I should have!

I just finished COMLEX-USA Level 1 last week on Tuesday. It is such a relief to finish it early; most of my friends scheduled it much later and some have even moved it back farther! I begin rotations on June 11th.
Congratulations on graduating!

Where are you doing your internship and what residency are you doing and where?

 

[oceanlover]

Love your beautiful aquarium and the gorgeous clown fish are just frosting on the cake. I also like the couch-cat in one of the earlier photos!

 

[bonebrake]

Thanks Oceanlover! The cat lives the good life here!

If you only have 72 watts in ur 24 gallon with pcs, do you think i can handle birdsnests and montipora digita in my 20 gallon with 80 watts??
