chrisdamage BC14 photos and info...

almost 1 year in the making...

Specs:
-Oceanic BioCube 14g
-3" sandbed
-20 to 22lbs. of LR
-weekly waterchanges consisting of about 4 gallons
-daily feeding with a just a pinch of tiny pellet food and every 3 or 4 days I do a full feeding with Mysis, Cyclopeeze, Krill, and Prime Reef
-daily dosing of a 2 part solution
-bi-weekly dosing of iodine
-stock lighting
-I've made some simple modifications:
-took out the bio-balls and replaced them with LR rubble
-took out the tray in the first chamber and added more LR rubble and some chaeto. I scraped off the black vinyl on the back of the aquarium and placed a CoralLife 2 x 9w PC fixture to grow the macro algae.

Coral:
-2 species of Xenia
-Anchor Coral
-Fist sized Toadstool Leather
-Finger Leather
-various color morphs of Ricordia florida(green, blue, orange, and everything in between!)
-various Ricordia yuma(2 yellow and purple, 1 yellow and blue, 2 orange and purple, and 2 green and purple)
-shrooms galore(neon green, bright red, and a pretty bright blue one that I purchased from Wayne that is about 5" in diameter)
-too many types of zoos to count
-Open Brain
-Green Star Polyps

Livestock:
-1 True Percula Anemone Fish(George)
-1 Purple Firefish(Fred)
-1 Neon Goby(Lester)
-2 Featherduster Worms
-1 Blood Shrimp(Jacque... I know, I know... my gf named it haha)
-various snails(mostly turbos and a few Nassarius)
-various hermits
-a ton of little featherdusters everywhere and tons of pods


there are some ok macro shots and a few full tank shots... Hope you all like!

a picture of some of my other Ricordia florida(they aren't too happy in this picture because I justs finished glueing them to a dead SPS skeleton) and some more of my yumas(just barely... I really need to get some good pictures of my yumas because I have some really nice ones)


a picture of a large zoa colony and the bottom of my anchor coral(top of picture)
