Hey guys, Thought I would share my biocube 29, I wanted to get back into the hobby with a smaller tank that I could eventually move all of the equipment to a 60 cube. Tank has been up for around 5 months now.

Equipment:

Biocube 29 HQI and stand

Radion xr15w pro LED light

mp10w circulation pump

Aquamaxx HOB-1 skimmer

Reefkeeper light controller

InTank media basket and fuge

MJ1200 return pump

FTS as of 5/27/15

It's a xr15w pro, and so far I love it. I like the control I have over it, I have had kessils (50 series without the new spectra controller) and china box led before and nothing can come close to the control I have over the light, color and intensity. I do miss that kessil shimmer however, nothing seems to come close to that.

And yeah, it's pretty heavily stocked with zoas, I have a few choice chalices and mushrooms on the sand bed, and I threw some cheap sps frags up on the very top of my rocks, the light is only running at 45% but I have seen some nice growth and great PE from them, so they must like it.

Plans for the tank is to be a giant zoa garden.
 
That blondie polyp is huge. Liking those electric oompa loompas too. Ive had them twice they dont survive in my tank.

I might try oompa loompas again when i find some healthy polyps.

Yeah it is huge, one of my slowest growers, had no growth from it for a good 3 months, but it's now sprouted about 4 babies. My EOL are growing like weeds.
 
And about the fish... The only reason I don't have firefish in my 25g open top tank is I've read a few places that they're jumpers. How long have you had them? I really want some, but have been worried - not that I'm looking for an excuse to add a couple more fish to my tank;)
 
I think it all depends on their tank mates and the area around the tank. My house is quite, my lights ramp up nice and slowly and everything in the tank is friendly. I actually had a flame hawk jump out on me. These guys have been in the tank from the start, 5 months or so, and had no problems.
 
Tank is clearing up nicely with reactor!

That zoa above the meteorshower. Did you get that from aqua life.

I grabbed that same one from aqua life. He kept calling them margarites. Pretty sure theyre just tyree space monsters.

Not to say tyree spacemonsters are uncool. Theyre one of my favorites.

Im actually really liking the shelf aqua scape you got going. Very functional for coral placement and looks great/
