"The Simple Life" - KLR's 30gal Cube - Seagrass/Softy Style!

[KLR]

After alot....ALOT... of stress from keeping many differant sp. of coral I have decided to set up a tank that I can enjoy that requires almost no care.

This tank is going to be a seagrass and softy dominant tank.

I set up the tank about 1 and a half weeks ago.

My fish plans are:
Scooter Blenny (Achieved)
Goby or Pair of some sort
Pair of Seahorses
Pair of Pipefishes

My current equipment is a small($35) HOB filter,heater, small koralia, and a 120w Reef Evo LED light fixrture.

Im still really bad at taking blue led pictures, but here are the corals and a horrible FTS in the blue.

Here is a daylight FTS and my red scooter blenny

He has a neat looking dorsal fin.

Cool tank and that scooter blenny is sweet. Really like the colors of his fin.

Good idea. I'm in the process of adding an oceanic 30 to my system so I can move over my lps. I'm still trying to figure out lighting. It seems led is the easiest choice for a 20" tank. How do you like your light. What model did you get?

looking good kelby!

Thanks for the replies!

Very bad news...my scooter bellied over,literally. IDK what happened. But I now have a kellogi(possibly spelled wrong) seahorse and banded pipefish.
I will probably buy another scooter. I miss him already.

 

[KLR]

Banded pipefish refused all kinds of food. Live frozen, tiny, large, so I gave up on my pipefish dreams...to stressful. Which defeats the purpose of this tank.

I now have 2 white and black kellogi horses, 1 red kellogi horse, and the original black one.

The red one is showing interest in food but not eating it, so I am becoming a little concerned, If anyone has suggestions please speak up!


I have added A LOT more zoas and 1 millipora frag. Pics hopefully soon.

The tank still runs on:
1 Mini Koralia
1 Medium size HOB filter
heater
120w ReefEvo LED Fixture

Here is a picture update; only the dumpster diving black kellogi and 2 white and black kellogis are pictured.

All pictures were taken under all blue leds.

Some of these pictures are not good because I had to take them at an angle through the glass.

Most of the corals:

Some of the horses
These guys are VERY camera shy, so I was having trouble adjusting the MF quick enough in order to capture a decent picture of them.

Have you tried live brine?

 

[KLR]

Thanks, the scooter died and I am not sure why. It was eating mysis and swam around all the time and buried at night. I miss the tiny fish.

 

[KLR]

Have you tried live brine?

I would if I could locate any. My lfs use to sell it but their supplier stopped selling it so they stopped selling it.

I took one but it came out AWFUL. The ambient lighting of the sun mixing with the blue of the leds created a horrible color on my camera. I will try to get a daylight fts sometime soon.

Can you at least get brine eggs and hatch them yourself?
