Hi everyone here's my tank: JBJ Nanocube 28 HQI with Actinics. I bought it used with live rock and live sand and had it up and running on Mar. 21st
The coraline growth on the live rock was really nice. The live rock is about 90% Tonga and the main piece is Tonga branch.
Hitchhiker's: (my favorite part of the starting process was ID'ing them all)
Stomatella Snail
A few Hair Worms
A few Bristle Worms
a couple collinista snails
Q-tip sponges
green sponges
amphipods and copapods
peanut worms
I had some colonial hydroids, but I took them out.
vermitid snails, I took out the ones that would cause early problems and let the ones higher up stick around for now.
and aiptasia, I think the battle is over on that one.
Livestock:
1 yellow tail damsel (noobie mistake, he's territorial, and will make stocking more fish difficult)
1 peppermint shrimp to clean up my aiptasia. battle seems to be over, I haven't seen one in a few weeks.
10 Astrea Snails
10 blue leg hermits
6 Nassarius Vibex
6 dwarf cerith
1 turbo snail
1 emerald crab
chaeto
codium taylorii
