| Advice: |
Do research, visit some people with reef aquariums, internet informaition, pics, emails to different hobbyist, videos on setups, read, ask questions if not sure, plan for the future(expansion of your corals and livestock) purchase what your tank needs, and don't try to cut corners especially with live stock and equipment like lights, skimmers, etc. Don't add what you don't test for, and do it from the heart, and not to impress. Respect the livestock and the livestock will reward you with their beauties. Careful water changes, and don't get too technical trying to make your tank automatic, otherwise you will rely on the equipment and never develope a relationship with your aquarium, and you won't notice when something is not right if you leave it up to the equipment. Pay attention, be patient, and respect LIFE!!!!!
Thanks to all who look and those who voted on this tank. Hopefully, anyone with an aquarium can be inspired by these beautiful life forms. As you can see, it is possible to maintain for prolong periods and counting. Please understand that in no way am I stating with my experiences with this aquarium that this is the only way or the best way. This is one way. Big or small, it will still require the disipline and careful planning, and initial expenses. All these tanks in this site have their beauty, and the people who have summitted their aquariums on this site, have their beauty in their hearts. Thanks the site owners for allowing us the priviledge to show and share our hearts on this wonderful site.
BLESS US ALL.....PEACE..... |

| About Yourself: |
I am a graduate student, applying to medical school now. I have been interested in saltwater fish for over 6 years now, learning as I go. My cousin who lives in florida originally got me interested telling me it wasn't as hard as everyone thinks. |
| Advice: |
Don't be afraid to try new things and do things right from the beginning despite the costs because it will be well worth it in the long run. |
| Fish Kept: |
Purple pseudochromis, yellow pygmy angel, pink banded shrimp goby, maroon clown, chalk basslet. |
| Corals/Plants Kept: |
halimeda, maiden's hair, kenya tree, florida false, candy cane, long tentacle anemone, green star polyps, yellow polyps, pulsating xenia, green hairy mushroom, colt coral, anthelia, red mushrooms, lettuce leather coral |
| Tank Size: |
29 |
| Description: |
I have an oceanic biocube 29 with two 36 watt power compacts. One is a 10000 K and the other is an acitinic. The tank dimensions are 20.8" x 19" x 20.1". I have been running the tank for over a year and a half and all of the live rock came from my four year old 120 reef tank. I have accumulated corals like the florida false coral, the kenya trees, and all other shown for about a year. I use marine snow, B-ionic two part system, Coral accel (recently), and garlic which seems to boost the immune system. I have a yellow pygmy angel, a pink striped shrimp goby, a maroon clown, a chalk basslet, fire shrimp, three monkey shrimp, a cleaner shrimp, purple pseudochromis and a purple reef lobster. (Also assorted cleaning crew like snails, lettuce nudibranch, crabs, ect). I didn't really change the set up from the company other than add carbon and a cut out all inclusive filter. |

| About Yourself: |
I love the ocean and my tank is like having my own piece of it. |
| Advice: |
Over all, patience should be your # 1concern When keeping a salt water aquarium. You are gonna want your aquarium looking like everyone elses and want to add everything in at once but the longer you wait and observe the tank, the better! Do monthly water changes and keep your water tested for the essentials and you should be fine! |
| Fish Kept: |
SailFin Tang, Naso Tang, Clarkii Clown, Green Manderine Goby, 2 Huchtiis Anthias, Green Chromis,Pijama Cardinal, Orange Spotted Goby, and A Sixline Wrasse. |
| Corals/Plants Kept: |
Metalic Purple Mushrooms, two types of Green Open Brains, Toadstool Leather, Green Scolymia,Blue Lobo Brain(open),Multi Colored Ricordea,Frogspawn,Red Polyps,Yellow Polyps, Xenias,Red & White Coco Worm, and 29'' Candylactic Anenome, its huge! |
| Tank Size: |

| Description: |
90 Gallon all glass reef tank. I have a Nova Extreme Fixture, 8x54 Watts, 4 Actinic and 4 10,000K Daylight Lamps. I use a Wet Dry filtrtion system. I also have a 9 Watt UV Sterilizer, a Protein Skimmer, and Phosphate Reactor. I use a Stealth Heater and my temperature is mostly at 77 degrees. I got two Koralia 2, fans that give out more than enough water flow. That sums up what runs my tank! |
