I got 20 lbs. of live sand for a two inch sand bed and 50 lbs. of Fiji live rock. It took a long time to get the 50 lbs. of live rock in there, but I made it fit and still left a little sandbed and kept a one inch or greater zone around it so the magnet cleaner can get by.

They have yet to host anything. In fact, they have never once swam through the caves. They are constantly in the open water. I have heard they are more likely to host when they get older, right now they are only about six months old and two inches long.

Good looking tank by the way
Genus Favia does appear to be a possibility. The polyps appear to be smaller than all of the pictures I see. When I feed plankton, tentacles come out a few millimeters and I cannot even visualize the neon green mouth. It also eats anything. If I feed formula A, it eats the romaine lettuce, crab, lobster, plankton, mysis, even a stray strand of chaetomorpa macroalgae that happens to land on it. The crazy part is, when I purchased it, there were polyps 360 degrees the entire way around it. I could not figure out a way to spare all of them so I placed it the best way I knew how and the ones on the very bottom in the sand died. It really makes me curious as to how it was oriented in the wild for it to have polyps on every surface.

Thanks Baskball!
Blastomussa merletti is actually a very cheap coral. Mine has about 20 polyps and you could probably score one the same size for $20.00.
However, Blastomussa wellsi generally runs much higher and has much larger polyps. I have seen four gorgeous polyps for $80.00.

Heya Bone. Nice looking Cube, great work. I ordered one of those 24g nano DX from JBL but I had to send it back b/c it was messed up. Im deciding if I should order another one and try again. Was wondering, Is that the stock lighting that came with the tank? (2) 36 W PC's i beleive. If that lighting can support the stuff you have in there I think I will try to order another. Thanks, any info would be much apreciated.
