Livestock
-Mocha Vinci Clown pair
-Royal Gramma
-Banggai Cardinal pair
-Diamond Sand Sifting Goby
-Cleaner & Peppermint Shrimp

Coral
-Long tentacle & Short tentacle torches
-JF Red Hot Setosa
-Red Monti Cap
-Bicolor Hammer & Purple tip green hammer
-Green Bubble
-Green Mushrooms
-Green Frogspawn
-Sour Apple Birdsnest
-Green Pocilipora
-Brown PS Gorgonian
-Zoas
-Duncans
-Green Nepthya
-Neon Trumpets

The 6 month old 34G Cube with DIY stand

Preparing to transfer after buying a used 60G

First rockscape attempt

Corals and livestock transfer

Bought some reef saver shelves and rescaped.

New pair of tiny clowns!

Rockscape attempt #3. Added a nice bicolor hammer colony -still playing around with coral placement

Where we stand today. Tried to balance my need for overhangs, caves, and negative space. There's a fairly large empty area in the middle of the tank but it's been tricky to capture it on camera because of all the overlapping rockscape.

Next Steps:
1) Add a RBTA to balance out all the green
2) Add some red/orange/yellow mini colonies to balance out the greens
3) Add a small yellow tang & red fairy wrasse
4) Get my buddy's skimmer ASAP
5) Upgrade the light ASAP. AI Prime HD isnt providing enough coverage for the 2x2 footprint
6) Tweak lighting to take better photos lol

Thanks for stopping by!
