New tank Nanocube 24DX

[Kyuss]

I got a good deal on a new Nanocube24DX $80 with an extra hood/lights too. I moved my Nanocube12DX into the 24 and gave my 12 gallon to another aspiring reefer just over a week ago (January 11th). My 12 gallon was my first salt tank and I learned a lot with it. It was time to either move the whole thing or rip the sand bed out due to it being loaded with phosphates from overfeeding and not knowing what I was doing in the beginning. I was having a pretty bad hair algae bloom for a while no matter how aggressive my water changes were. So I decided it was time. I used existing rock from my 12gallon and added some rock I have had cooking for a year. (I need to get a big tank up to use the rest of my rock) Anywhoo my two clowns are happy with their new home although they still bite me as soon as my hand is in there, apparently the expansion has not helped their personalities. As soon as I catch the evil six line in my 90 he will be rooming with the clowns. Some pics as follows of the setup. I will post some pics tonight when I get home of what it looks like today.









You can see some of the nasty hair algae still attached to my hairy shroom rock. It looks much better today

heheh yes well you know....
It was actually my server table in the basement holding my switches, firewall, and servers. I moved that stuff around and nabbed the table. It is only temporary but for now it works. It now sits in my office so I can work and then take a break to stare at the clowns hosting their "lurky" as my wife calls it leather coral.

Looks nice, my clowns bites my hand as well especially if I get close to the anemones, torch or what else they are deciding to host in.

Looks good Josh! So whats the difference between the regular 24 nanocube (which i have) and the 24DX Nanocube?

Thanks Zach! Several years ago the deluxe had an extra light. i.e. the regular just had one light while the dx model had two. I think they are all deluxe now, so really you have one also
