italipinos Biocube 29

Candy canes still havent opened :disappoin. Going to my lfs today. Dont know what to do. I want to get a pistol shrimp/ YWG goby pair but dont have enough sand (only around 1.5 maybe, 2 inches). Can i add sand while im acclimating them? I might just end up getting the goby and maybe a cleaner shrimp today. I dont know.

You tell me what to do:D
 
You can add more sand to the tank. You can take a piece of PVC, put it down in the tank, then sand the sound down the PVC chute to minimize cloudiness.

Also, the green star polyps that came today are growing on some kind of coral skeleton. Not sure if you guys want me to take a pic of it but i think it should be fine. Right?

Also if you notice the clowns have to try and be in every pic, when i put my hand in the tank the one is always trying to swim in my palm, my little sister hand feeds him everyday!
 
UPDATE!!!! Its Been Awhile

Well my tank is coming along great. Just seeing the pics on the first page of this i was like wow:shock:!!! Some how i still have avoid any live stock death, or bad algae outbreaks (knock on wood)

Good growth on this in the past month

20 heads on the candy cane. I think when i got it, it was 4 heads... pretty good growth for a year. You can see the duncan in the back, got that as 1 head, grew to 10 then i fragged it up a little bit

4 heads when i got this, now it is 8, gonna frag it sometime this month

Heres a picture of the back chambers. From left to right you can see diy auto top off, refugium light, mediabasket, and thermometer
 
Thanks for the comments. Does anybody know how to get good pictures under the LEDS?

Heres some pics of my clown hosting my toadstool. I think im going to get rid of my green star polyps and get either a maxima/crocea clam or a bubble tip anemone. Also getting a tunze 9002 skimmer in the next couple weeks. Will keep you guys updated:D

More updates for you guys. Pretty much same as usual. Spectacular growth from all corals. I wish i posted a picture of the birdsnest a few months ago but it has nearly double in size. The montipora also has some really nice growth. It encrusted onto the rock it is on.
