cool tank, how many gallons is it?

 

[dborne3]

It's a 30 Gal Cube that i bought from a friend looking to get rid of it for a $100. I'm happy so far.

your tank cycle already?

 

[dborne3]

I just got a new coral - Cladiella Leather Coral - I was told...
And the Frogspawn is coming along nicely so i updated him.

Nice tank! I would switch the glass to egg crate.

Why would you want to do that, it would make it look ugly

It allows a natural gas exchange from the air, instead of trapping it. Plus with the glass it traps the heat from the light. Alos unless you keep the glass clean constantly it blocks the light.

Thanks for the compliment Nemo.
I am currently leaving half of the glass lid open to at least let some of it be uncovered. We'll see what happens

Pretty sure that 1st one is a Colt Coral. I have one and it looks exactly like that at night when it bunches up.
Nice tank

Its been awhile since i have had time to get on here and post some pics of my new things. Well here you go.

 

[nick76]

is that a Green brittle star?

 

[dborne3]

Its kinda blue and green - i say blue - girlfriend says green... so

 

[phunckie]

gotta watch those green brittles. They are predatory. I had one eat several coral frags.
