Can you give us more info on tank: age, salinity, ph, other tank mates, water parameters, ammonia etc?

Nice to know some old reefers still alive and still maintaining their reefs even if they are downsizing...

Cured live rock means you can place it in a tank with water on day 1, recommended you use live sand with the cured live rock. Your tank will be ready to go within a day or two depending on filtration and skimmer. Mike

DeOracle, Good job on the rest of the cleaning crew, let them to to work and be patient... Regarding the Florida Ricordea, nice pick, they are fairly hardy and easy to take care of.... They don't like a lot of water movement, very little if any and they will expand. They also like...

If you have test kits at your house, I would go ahead and test for Ammonia and Nitrite, more Nitrite since your into the third week of cycling the tank. Low Nitrate test will not be needed until you get some serious corals in there and require super low nitrates to keep them happy. So don't...

DaOracle, If you don't have red hermit crabs pick up 3 small/medium sized. If you don't have nassirus snails, pick up 3 small/medium sized, they will sift through the sand. If you find an emerald crab, I would pick up two small ones if possible, they are excellent at picking off all sorts...

Yeah that is a halloween hermit grab.... They are among some of the best scavengers on the market, eating all sorts of hair algae and some types of slime algae, they are agressive towards snails because they went the shells... Just be sure to add extra empty shells to keep them happy...

If the hermit has orange on his leg, he should be a halloween hermit crab. They are aggressive and usually go after snails to kill them for the shell. Keep an eye on him. I wanted to tell you that I really like your sand bed from the photo it looks straight out of one of my dives in...

I finally got 6 picos in yesterday. I sold one complete setup and I have two systems left. They are going for $199 and buyer pays shipping. Send me a PM if you are interested in obtaining one for your office or home. Thanks, Mike G

I thought you have a JBJ tank, I couldn't find one for the Biocube....

DaOracle, Glad to finally see your pics up on the board, glad I could assist. If you haven't already done so, go purchase the surface skimmer cartridge for this tank. It's very inexpensive and has a ton of value over anything else you might be wanting to purchase, trust me on this. MG

Lets us know when you add anything new, love to see reefs start off... :)

If you open the picture on your desktop most likely the program has the ability to edit. Click on edit and go to resize and bring it down 640x480 resolution. There it will be small enough for you to go to: www.tinypic.com Follow the simple instructions of upload and find it on your...

Good job on the aquacaping, looks very nice...

Did you post the picture correctly? Nothing is appearing on your thread?

Good call on feeding them every other day, will become a healthier environment for the fish. Looks like your water parameters are good, remember you are testing for high nitrates and low nitrate tests are a better margin for SPS corals. So where you think your nitrates are good, they can...

Your fish are still acclimating to their surroundings. They feel safe where they are at and will seek the food when the risk is there to feed or die. They will not normally seek the outskirts of the tank when they are healthy and cautious. With time they will acclimate and will be all over...

Wow, Brandon thanks for sharing the cleaning process on your unique shaped pico, it brings a new flavor to purple flower vases.. :) With all that macro algae that you are scapping, I wonder if you would be able to transfer that over to a noobs tank for some serious jump start on macro...

The purple coraline means your tank has matured and healthy, but once it grips your entire circumference of your tank it will become a problem. How will you view it?

Here is an update... MG
