Awesome idea. I have been wanting to put a small cube in our little one's room also but wife has been blocking the idea.

We are so glad we set this up. It let's off such a nice glow at night with the 2 LEDs just enough to always be able to see the room, and a great water fall noise as well (white noise) I think they call it to help baby sleep?

Default Livestock

My goal right from the beginning was was to have fish that are active, have good colour and personalities. The most important thing to me was to have a light bio load, and fish that will work well in a 14 gallon.

I wanted lots of movement and colour for my corals as well.

Fish:

2- Occellaris Clownfish
1- Yellow Watchman Goby

Inverts:

8- Astraea Turbo Snails
2- Nassarius Snails
1- Blood Red Shrimp
1- Tiger Pistol Shrimp (paired up with yellow goby)
3- Maxi Mini
1- Green BTA

Corals:

1- Purple Plate
1- Purple Tip Hammer
1- Neon Green Frogspawn
1- Purple Torch Coral

Zoas and Palys:

Gold Mohawks
Radioactive Dragon Eyes
Misc zoas (don't no name yet?)
Misc Palys

Default Maxi Jet 900

I decided to add a Maxi Jet 900 to give the tank more flow, I noticed that there was some dead spots in the tank. I added it right under the Hydor deflector and it really seems to dispurse the water nicely.

So far I have noticed a big improvement, the fish and corals seem to be thriving under the new flow.
