thanks mang. ya i am moving those rhodactis mushrooms over to my parents house. seems like that tank gets what ever i don't want.

i'm going to move some acans around cause the red acans on the left i wand to put something else there and keep that lower "bowl" mainly for acans. also trying to track down a ok sized torch and some neon green candy cane/trumpet coral. trying to keep this 95% lps minus the mushrooms in the front. for some reason i really like them

thanks man, ya those are for sure fighting as my favorites and its funny cause they were a killer deal.

but i am starting to plan a sps tank as well. i am going to be moving out of my friends house so i will be able to get a sps tank going without someone bitching about the bill going up $40. the guy smokes in his room and the smell of the house smells like dirty old cigarettes. which in turn is making me quit smoking.

long story short, i miss the old place alot

So I have decided to do a 3 month update. Well the tank has ungone two moves since I last updated this thread. Now i am in a bit of a pickle. Just moved into my new place and money is a bit tight. But I really want to do a new tank since the 60 is no longer mine and the condo manager said that it was to big for the building (but i don't believe her)

So right now its either remap this biocube with a 150watt MH or start spending my money on a new tank and go back to the white rice diet. well while i ponder this, here is what my biocube looked like before the move:

I forgot my camera at home when I went to my parents house sooo I shot some photos of the biocube craptacular

So I did some cleaning up this week, which really helped me enjoy this little tank. I tried to budget in a new tank for the apartment but at this time that idea sunk really fast.... So I am going to upgrade the lighting in the biocube.

So UVL released a PC-R bulb which is internally reflected and produces "50% more par" (i will test it when they come). So while I am doing that I will be replacing the fans with oceanic ones again and down the road plan on doing the 3 bulb nanocustoms upgrade. So here is where I stand:

K so the monthly update.... I went metal halide. Never thought I would say it but man do I love this fixture.

JBJ Viper 150watt Viper with a phoenix 14,000k also upgraded the koralia nano 240gph to the 425gph model.

Now I tried some digi's and birdsnest under PC and lets just say the success rate was 33%. both digi's had issues while the birdsnest flurished. After adding the MH fixture I added a baby blue milli frag and a stylo frag. both seem to be doing well with PE, guess I will see the outcome when I get home from work tomorrow

oh and I am removing the palys that are in the middle. Seems like they were stinging my others. moved it and noticed a huge difference
