BIG UPDATE! Tank looks totally different! Its been doing amazing ever since the addition of my custom 19LED board!

I would list everything that I have added since my last update but I'm not even sure if I could.

Almost everything in my tank is from Midwest Coral Farms and basically I go there at least once a week and thats pretty much enough said for why my tank has as much stuff as it does and why it is doing as well as it is!

Now onto the pics!

My LED set-up




My cat loving the tank!


My pair of Ocellaris Clowns from ORA


The whole tank as of today!


My Pajama Cardinal


My Firefish


My goby in his cave that he claimed!


Pair of cleaner shrimp


My fire shrimp eating stuff off my hand while i was mounting my first SPS frag!


Feather duster doing his thing!


A pic of my AMAZING new bubble coral that I got from MCF on Friday and one of my Clown starting to host it!




This frogspawn was a small frag a couple weeks ago! Gotta love LED's


Plate!!!!


A little bit of everything! Mostly $10 and $20 frags from MCF!


My craigslist SCORE toadstool leather that is absolutely THRIVING!
I really hope my clowns start spending a little more time in it!


I've really amazing myself with how much I have been able to put into a dinky little 12 gallon aquarium and the best part is that I'm far from done! I can't put anymore fish in there and probably not anymore inverts because there are inverts in there that you guys didn't even see like the 2 star fish and the 2 emerald crabs and countless snails and hermits but as far as LPS and SPS frags are concerned I'm gonna keep goin til there's no room left!

Thats all for now! Hope you all enjoy! Comments are more than welcome!
FYI all the pictures with the exception of one were taken on my cell phone!

LED Set up looks great thinking of doing that to my 12g cube also.


? how often are you doing water changes.

that seems like a lot of fish added in such a short time after your cycle was complete in such a small tank.

Did my first water change yesterday...about 2.5 gallons and yes, I do have a lot of fish. Firefish, goby, garden eel, cardinal, pair of clowns...I guess I'm just lucky.

Some additions to the tank!
-green open brain
-green slimer sps frag
-purple gorgonian
-a decent size colony of favia that needs a little extra love
-some various acans
-various mushrooms and zoa's

Starting to run out of space in my 12 gallon cube....keep a look out for my 90 gallon mixed reef build! :top:

Heres some recent pics of the tank and new stuff.

One of my clowns getting used to hosting in my toadstool leather...FINALLY!


My green slimer frag...not bad for $10



Open brain...also a $10 piece! Moved it up into the rock work in my tank last night and it was doing amazing this morning!



Purple Gorgonia...FREE piece because it was expected to die but ever since it got in my tank under the LED's its been doing amazing!



All my various ZOA's....cant wait for these to all spread and fill in the area...I think theres 8 or so different types the last time I counted.



Last but not least a pic of the whole tank as of this morning!




Looking forward to getting started on my next project....or projects I guess I should say....a lot of the stuff in this tank will actually be coming out before not too long! I'll try to keep up with my updates at things develop!

Yesterday I got a sweet greenish teal captive raised maxima clam which I was able to hand pick from the big order of clams that Midwest Coral Farms got in this week! Got a really beautiful one. I'll post pics once it is more comfortable in open in my tank and all the way!

If anybody is looking for a Clam for their tank then you should get your butt up to Midwest Coral Farms ASAP because they have some really amazing ones in right now...all kinda of looks and sizes and great prices with the small Maximas starting around $39 I think!

In other news I think my ORA clowns are pairing! One has been chasing the other quite a lot and then the hopefully soon to be male has been doing the twitching seizing submissive dance. Time will tell if they pair. Hopefully soon they will be hosting my giant Toadstool leather together! I'll get pics posted if that happens!

Should be getting my reef ready 90 gallon in about a week...the build thread will probably follow shortly after!
