30 gallon oceanic cube pics & vid!!!!!


Hey guys,

I finally have some pictures of my 30 gallon oceanic cube up. I've had this setup for over 3 years, but have been very off and on with it. I know, shame on me, but I've breeded new life into this tank in the past 3 weeks and am very proud to show it off.


Here is the setup. I have metal halides (175w XM 20K) I used to have Hamilton 14K bulbs but wanted to try something different. Man do I regret it! I'm running it with a bakpak protein skimmer.



The frogspawn is my baby, I've had it when it was only 8 heads, and now it has about 30 heads.



This is my Arabian Pseudochromis. He's pretty cool, not very aggressive at all.



This is my ricordea I got last weekend.






This is a video I made of it last night. It's my first attempt, so it is a little shaky. Let me know what you guys think!

Wow, that's gorgeous! I want my tank to look like that! I like how your fish are out and about... Your frogspawn is wonderful! I love that coral!

I like that movie, gave me some general ideas of how to have the tank set up and how the movement of the water is in your tank...

Thanks for sharing!

can you get a pic without the camera flash on? maybe in a dark room with the tank fully lit. the setup looks fantastic. i am sure the tank is fantastic to, but the flash on the camera is washing out the colours.

They're usually not that active around the tank. It was b/c I just fed them about 10 mins prior and they thought I was going to give them more food The bicolor blenny usually just perches, and the arabian pseudochromis just weaves in and around the rocks.
