Just put this little guy up after my 20g long crashed. Pretty happy with the biocube so far. I run the stock lighting over it, no Mods to the actual structure, upgraded the return pump to a micro jet 606, and have the oceanic protein skimmer. Water params are all normal. Here are some pics:

I went on a 5 day vacation and had a local reefing buddy come by to do maintenance. He called one day and told me that everything was dead. Naturally I flipped and asked what water params where and such. He said nitrites had sky rocketed. I think what happened was something died behind the LR and I didn't notice. With me not there testing the water everyday I didn't notice to nitrite spike in time. Carnage ensued and by the time I got home the tank had leveled out again. I decided to switch to the all in one tank model for ease. At least until my fiance and I move into a house where I can build a large inwall system. ;)

I think they are Watermelon zoas. They have a pink ring with a dark center and aren't the strawberry zoas all pink in the middle.

Nice I might look into that. My fiance is gonna kill me if I spend anymore money, so for now I'm just gonna have to stay stock.

ya I been looking at the 3.24 to get my wattage up to 72. Would be just that little extra boost I need. We will see, I gotta get an engine swap for my car and that's gonna get me back a few bucks :(

Lookin good, Logan!
Looks like you could use some green dragon eye zoas, a few boring people eaters and a clove polyp (Can you tell I am trying to get rid of crap?). lol
