14 gallon biocube w/pics


On an impulse I bought a new tank. I probably won't be modding it at all. So it will be skimmerless. I'm leaning towards getting a Jawfish or two for the tank so it has a 3' DSB. I'll be using live rock from my main tank and seeding the DSB with sand from another tank.

Not much to look at now other than sand, but here it is anyway.

Actinics only

Actinics and daylight

I have the attention span of a flea. With that being said the plan as of now is an lps dominated tank. Acans,Echino, maybe a Dendro polyp or two...............

I'm thinking of moving my Banghi(sp?) over to this tank as well. He can keep the Jawfish company.

ARGHHH! You can just barely see a Hydnophora frag that I didn't see attached to a rock on the left. See how fast my plans change.
