Default My 2 year old 29g biocube revealed

Well its def been a interesting 2 years, good times and bad. Really did'nt know what i was getting myself into but i sure am happy i did, even though i would probbally have a few more dollers in my pocket.

Well the first thing you will notice is I have no fish, well i have one, a yellow watchmen goby who is to camra shy to get a shot of. I had 4 fish in there bet just last month my air conditioner broke while i was away and the resulting heat killed the other three poor fish truly a sad day.

But now i have come to the conclution that yellow watchmen gobys have more lives then a cat, mine simply won't die he's
-Survived ich
-Jumped into the back of the tank were i found him over a month later thinking he had died
- Survived in pice of rock out of the water 4 over a hour when i moved my tank
-And suriveved the heat wave

I don't think he will ever die, but now the tank

Full tank shot


Side


Some blue nice zoos


Big frogspawn i had since it was only one head


My coco worm but not all the way out


And finally Bert and Ernie the shrimp


I have never used a protein skimmer just exstra live rock in the back and chemi pure plus 15% water change ever week or so. Tell me what ya think

And here is the tank 6 months ago befor the fish died and with a better camera

Wow very nice tank...a little inspiration for me.
You hve L.R. in the back....Is it just in the second(?) chamber, no mods to the back?
I want to get rid of my bio balls and wondered if this was the way to go.

Looks great! Are you planning on getting another fish or two now?

No no mods just take out the bio balls and put in a bunch of live rock, then fill the water so its really high and all the rock is submerged, i put some filter floss on top of the rock were the water hits it, a little mechanical filtration plus it makes the tank completly quiet. The first chamber i took out the false divder and put more live rock and my heater in there.

As for fish i think i am going to get a pair of true percs and leave it at that. i have noticed a improvment in my corals with the lack of fish.
