Got worms! the freaks come out at night. They are great scavengers. .

Good God...those are some big worms.....almost looks like you've got the krakken hiding behind all your rock work!


The tank just turned two years old! I put some progression shots on the first post.

Tank really looks amazing, you should be proud, and that's some serious progression from day one until now! You can also tell how healthy everything especially b/c of that slimer...it's already sprouting a ton of new branches from where you fragged it!

Keep up the amazing work! I'd love to get another biocube in the future....maybe in a few years I can give my 5 gallon to one of my kids, and upgrade again...I love the simplicity of my 5 gallon deskmate, but no doubt definitely miss the extra space a larger tank offers!

Thank you for the kind words. I really appreciate it. its been fun watching it grow over the last several months.

as much as I want to upgrade, and I will, I really like the simplicity of the Biocube.

thanks for following along.

One of my colonies RTN’d the other day. I think it was from my torch but can’t say for sure. Will need to adjust my dosing most likely. I was able to save two 2” pieces. We will see if they make it. Unfortunately I didn’t take a pic of the bleaching with a filter.

it really opened up the bottom of the tank.

The tank still looks awesome. Hopefully those clone frags will survive and grow back to its former glory. :)

thanks! I hope so.

I like that I can see my jawbreakers better now. It will be a race to see who claims the new real estate first. It’s between the zoas, jawbreaker’s or the incrusting monti. the encrusting monti is one that I regret bringing into the tank. Pretty invasive.

Very cool.
That's awesome! Great little article!

How are those two frags from the colony that RTN'd? Are they going strong?
