Hi Daz

Re: Pete's Biolife Cube - Update and new pics
Hi All
My tank is 4 1/2 years old and time for an update.
Lighting has gone from T5 to MH to Chinese LED and now has a Radion.
Skimming started with an Octopus classic changed to an Aqua Medic Turbo flotor 1000 and now use a Tunze 9410.
Wave makers started with the copies, went to 2 small tunze's and now use 1 Vortech MP10ES
Manual dosing has progressed to a Kamoer Triple Dosing Pump.
I no longer have a sand bed as the bottom is covered with morphs, Zoas, fungia and another clam (tiger squammy)
Full tank shot of two sides

Left hand side

Right hand side

Front view

Some photos of the livestock
Tiger Blenny

Coral Goby

Tropical chiton

Clams. You can fit a few into a cube




Red bubble tip

Morph

Gotta love those clams
.
Huge that the tank is four and a half years old and flourishing, awesome work mate
.
Could you point out some corals that have thrived in your tank for all or most of these four and a half years?
Cheers for the update

Originals, so 4 years old
Cynarinas x 4
Short tentacled fungia in the two front corners
Various morphs and zoas
Trachyphyllia
However since I started dosing about 5 months ago everything is better. Best single change I have done. I now frag various sps and they encrust well.
Clams are 3 years in the tank
Fish - Occi, yellow tang, royal gramma would be 4 yo. The others 3.
