14 Gallon Biocube Reef Tank with Updates

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Sorry about the absence for almost 2 months. I just haven't had time to update or buy anything new. I'm sad to say I lost the Six-line wrasse. I never found his body but I definitely know he died because of the major algae outbreak. I did buy a new fish, a royal gramma. Here is an updated video.

Grammas are nice...

Pseudochellinus wrasses are known to not like clownfish. I am willing to bet there was some sort of confrontation or a stress issue that got to the six line.
 
I did not know this. Thanks for the info. I never saw any confrontation when I was viewing the fish tank, but that doesn't mean there wasn't any. I'm thinking that I will keep it at the two fish unless I find a neon blue goby. The tank will be a slow process during the summer due to all of the expenses that I have. I've spent around $300 on concert tickets and I still need to save up for a trip I am taking in August. But the next purchases for the tank will be the 4 pounds of rock and a protein skimmer so I can keep acroporas.
 
in your video. you said you lost your hermits. well i had a royal he killed my 6 blue leg hermits. a damsel. he killed a clown all in a week in half... i took him back.. so maybe your royal is doing all the killing... idk if it got a maniac or what.. but will never buy one of those again. beat all my fish up. my bangaii was a banged up and my prized picaso clown.. which he made a full recovery
 
Wow, I might try one more Hermit and if that one disappears I will blame the Gramma.

I haven't had updates in awhile because I haven't been able to afford anything except for other stuff. I went to Summerfest to see Wiz Khalifa and then I went and saw NICKI MINAJ and Britney Spears with the Femme Fatale Tour. Love Nicki!

Some updates, The hammer coral has split into two heads. There are 2 baby mushrooms about 1 cm in diameter. The candy cane is still splitting but I can see two mouths!

Corals are doing great! Except for the hitchhiker polyps.
 
Again sorry for the long absence but nothing has changed except the corals. I now have 4 small heads of Candy Cane. I have like 6 baby mushrooms on the rock. (Everyone was right with how fast they spread.) and I believe the Hammer coral is splitting into two heads. Definitely have progress on all of the corals. I've been really lazy with the upkeep though and haven't scraped the coralline algae off the wall (But its a good sign when that growing really well right?) and the tank has a lot of hair algae. I think I may have to add another pump to the tank. I don't have any money now to do anything because My family and I went on vacation to Florida and I spent a lot of money. We went to a Rascal Flatts, Sara Evans, Easton Corbin, and Justin Moore concert. And I'm spending money on Brewers/Phillies tickets for 4 people. I won't have anything updated til October but I may make an updated video soon.
