mharmon's 14-Gallon Biocube

[mharmon]

Thanks to jrsatx20 for selling me all this great small-sized live rock - now my 14-gallon biocube is reborn!

I hope to house some sexy shrimp, a dwarf seahorse or two, and some less-demanding inverts - mushrooms, zoas, GSP, Xenia, etc. If I ever introduce other fish, I think it would be only the smallest varieties.

Here are some photos as the tank existed on 3/14/09:

All rock is fitted rather loosely, but seems secure. Every angle is full of gaps to allow water flow and access to fish. The cave is rather deep and shaded to make it feel cozy. The top of the structure has plenty of flat spaces to mount frags. I will probably install a small additional pump to increase water flow.

In the rear left I stuffed a softball-sized wad of chaeto to act as a pod pile and perform nutrient export. Hopefully it'll get enough light.

Any comments, questions, or suggestions are welcome!


Thanks,

Mark
