Back with a Biocube

    I have been asked about the old Biocube - I leak tested it for 3 days (doesn't leak, was actually salt creep from running water level too high) and sold it locally.

    Welcome back Eric! Happy to see you back in salt and in the Ds Ms area. Thanks for starting out the new build! I'll be following along!

    Update right at 1 month 3 weeks.

    Tank is stable and the hair algae really appears to be subsiding - I manually removed last weekend and I'm not seeing regrowth.

    While growth shots aren't that special, I did notice some growth over the last 30 days (January 21 through last night) which tells me my tank is healthy. While I do some testing, over the years I've learned to rely on what I see as a gauge for overall tank health.

    2 of 5 specimens below and first one was a heavily discounted coral as it was distressed when I bought it.

    I was!

    Then I was in Cedar Rapids from 2012 through September 2018 when we moved to West Des Moines.
