Darkholly's Biocube 14 Diary

So... my brother and I have a fourteen gallon Biocube tank which has been running for approximately nine months. Being inexperienced, the tank was pretty awful (in terms of aquascaping and decoration choices). A couple weeks ago, we decided to completely renovate the tank and turn it into a reef tank (it was previously a FOWLR tank).
In our tank so far, we've got
-20lbs live sand
-12lbs live rock (we know, a bit under what it needs to be)
-1 emerald crab
-1 reef hermit crab
-3 turbo snails
-1 small clownfish
-1 green chromis
We recently changed the aquascaping and are now looking into corals that we'd like- we're thinking about getting a green ricordia and zooanthid. Are there any (fairly inexpensive, we're just kids and we don't have that kind of money) corals that we could put in our tank?
Pictures are coming in the next post. =]

Thats some pretty sweet looking aquascape you did :) GREAT JOB. If i was you though i would take two of those turbo snails back to the lfs because they will probably die of starvation since they mainly eat hair algae. But tank is looking awesome :)

I would try some zoos/polyps, at my store there only about $15 dollars a frag and sometimes even $10. they are pretty cheap and are great beginner corals.

Ah, okay. I don't want the little guys to die. D:
And thank you! It took forever to get them in that position, but it was worth it. XD

Aquascape is pretty nice! For corals Zoas, Ric, Shrooms, and other Leathers are pretty easy to take care of and dont cost an arm and a leg.
Honestly best place to get a lot of variety at once is to look on here in the selling forums
