Here are some before and after pics of the bio cube. The first pic is how it used to look a long time ago and pic 2, 3, and 4 is how it looks right now. My stock list is: 1 small Maroon Clownfish, 1 Cleaner shrimp, 1 Marble crab, 3 or 4 Margarita snails, Xenia, Metallic Green Torch, Torch, Toad stool, 1 small Green Pacific Anemone, 1 small Pacific Anemone, Chaeto Algae, 13 LB of Live Sand, 13 LB of live rock, and lots of diff hitch hikers.
*note: the anemone is not bleaching, i dont know why the pic is showing its all white, but its brownish not white.*

Your shrimp looks like godzilla
. Very nice tank Coral Keeper. Glad to see the algae is gone. I think a ricordea on the right hand side, on the wall near the sand, that would look really cool to have some rics hanging on it. But excellent none the less!

Good stuff
And in one of the pics you just posted, the FTS, looks like your xenia just fragged in the bottom of the cave. Youre a father

Hey, nice tank. I didnt have a lot of time to read your thread, so can you tell me if you dose the tank with iodine?
My 14gal has a large elegance, a zoa colony with like 30-40 polyps, a large finger coral (sinularia), and a itty bitty pulsing xenia. The xenia hasn't grown like the rest of the corals, so last week I started dosing iodine. Strangely, it "detached" from the "frag puck" it was on, and now it is on a piece of LR. Im thinking it is being blocked by the elegance and finger, and so oit isn't getting enough flow.
how much flow does yours get, and do you dose iodine?
Thanks!

Thanks! I dont dose anything at all. I just do like 15-20% water changes every week. Im using the same stock pump the bio cube came from. But, today, im going to upgrade the stock pump to a 250-275 GHP pump.
