I'm so amazed at how you and other ppl are able to stock your tanks so full of life in such short periods of time- Kudos! At 3-5 mo. my 210 w/ 180lbs of cycling LR and 160lbs of cycling sand with just 4 lil' fishies was still reading Nitates @ 20-40 ppm, P04 of 5ppm, barely enuff supersaturated Mag to color a frag and enuff silacates to fuel a diatom factory. Ofcourse as of late, at 10+ mos. this is much, if not immensely improved. Guess I'm just slow on the uptake.

Looks great keep it comin'

I started small in a 21" cube with a tiny colony of zoas and that ceramic structure you see in the left of the full tank photo and some argonite. Then slowly added some choice live rock from 3 lfs stores i visit weekly. once the cube was full of live rock I added 4 green chromis and the bi-color blenny by this time the tank had been established for 2 months. I felt the small foot print of the 21" cube wasn't what I was looking for and found a great deal on a 29 gal biocube so I purchased it and combined it with my cube in a 60 gal before finally upgrading to this. I'm going to keep this tank for about 6 months until I can a stand built for my next tank. The 29 gal biocube I purchased had been established for years and I sold the tank without the livestock for almost the price I paid for everything :)
 
Any recommendation for future stock?
 
I'm really thinking about a flame Angel
 
Midas are Nice but I already have two blennys and I'm looking to fill another niche of my tank. different body shape and swim routine. I prefer the flame angels to the coral beauties
