My new 50 gallon cube

Beautiful corals

Thanks everyone. It's taken lots of carbon, phosphate spong and nitrate spong, as well as the proper cleaners to get anywhere with the GHA. Speaking of which, Rob do you have anymore of that phosphate stuff?

Hey Danny,
Are you using that phos sponge stuff from Petopia? if so...have you had any luck with it?
I'm using phosgaurde right now....and everytime I put it in my toad stools pout for a week or so.

Chris -

I'm using the stuff that Rob gave me a while ago. I can't remember where he got it, but it wasn't from a fish store. You have to be carefull of what you use for phosphate spong because some can really affect your corals. Look at the base ingredients of that phosgaurd, hopefully it's not a heavy metal like aluminum or something.

Long time no speak! Do you still have my old 110 gallon cube?

Just thought I'd add a couple of recent pics.

Since the last set of pics were posted I've had some technical failures that almost cost me some fatalities. I was working out of town a lot in April when that all happened. Now the tank seems to be recovered and doing well.

I've added a couple of fish which my corals seem to appreciate. I now have 1 Flames angel, 1 green spotted manderin, 1 YWG and one yellow tang. I've also added a 2 stage GFO reactor, that I also run NO3 media in. Between that reactor and the yellow tang, all of me GHA is finally gone!

I almost forgot to mention that I have replaced my 1 year old 14K aqua-connect with a 20K XM. I think the reduction in PAR will also benifit the some of my SPS, which seemed to almost burn under the other bulb.

That is a fantastic looking tank man.....
