Anyone else have a cube of similar size? I'm wondering what you're using for flow? I like the Vortech but I'm not so sure it's the right pump for this tank. I'm thinking two Tunze Turbelle Nanostream 6055 would be the better choice or adding another vortech as a slave pump. The only part I wouldn't like about adding another vortech is that I would have to pull my tank out from the wall to fit the motor on the back and right now my tank sits flush with the dividing wall it's on. I think the vortech would be great if I could put it in the center on the back wall but there's zero room for a dry box in the overflow.

The Phoenix bulb arrived today. I have to say thanks to Ocean Aquatics for such great service. It was shipped out same day, arrived super fast and was packaged so well.
I'm so impressed at the drastic improvement the bulb has made on the tank, wow!

Lol, I thought it might be. It's my first clam so I wasn't positive but yes, I bought it as a Maxima. I'm glad though if it is a crocea because originally that's what I wanted since they stay smaller.

Relatively, they both stay pretty small. Croceas the smallest.

So you should be good.. BUT, give it enough light as they are light hogs.

Sounds good. Seems to love the spot it's in right now.

Picked up a new inhabitant today, a Tailspot Blenny. What a little cutie!
