Hi, I’ve been in and out of the hobby for years. Recently jumped back in a little over a year ago but keeping it small with a biocube 32. We have had all types of fish and inverts in the past ranging from: blue ring octopus, mimic octopus, cuddle fish, Nautaliss, puffers, Hawaiian eel, barracuda, stone or frog fish, mantis shrimp, down to madarins, golbies, shrimp etc.
I’m starting new, I wanted to try a small tank and so far I have really enjoyed it but felt the growth from the standard cup cube leds was not enough so I purchased the Steve’s retrofit and things have started to take off.
Let me know what you guys think...
