    Maybe a small frogspawn or Duncan for the clown... I don't know how a anemone would do in a small tank..

    I wouldn't put any other fish... Just a nice pair of clowns.

    Default update on 8 gallon biocube

    i have been testing the parameters and they are not perfect but i figured i would give it a shot with a few extra corals that i had in my big tank. i have added some little trees, a red and purple mushroom , star polyp , single green zoa and i did purchase a rock with a fuzzy mushroom that i am going to use to try and grow out to host my clown. i also added 2 small hermits that are running around pretty well..

    one question i do have is do you guys think that having 9 cree leds for this tank is too much and will cause algae problems? i have 5 blue and 4 white. thanks
    congrats on the LED purchase. You should get 50000 hrs with the LEDs and heatsink. You may only need to run LEDs 8 hrs a day when your at work.
    If the LEDs are maxed your heatsink may get hot without a small fan to cool it. Specifically which of the LEDs did you go with ? Depending on your lense,
    watch your coral for bleaching or coral growth. Mushrooms like to turn inward if they have to much LED. Congrats on the tank.
    Limiting the amount of light usage and frequent ro/di sw changes should limit algae problems.

    yeah i think i am having that very issue at my home aquarium. i shortened the length of exposure so that they wouldnt bleach out. i have 4 - 3w cree leds and 5 3w royal blue leds from rapid led in this tank and i am afraid it will be too much. i have the lights coming on at 8:30 and shutting off at 7 pm but i might do on at 9am and then shut off at 6 pm that way they are only on when i am at work.
