Funny thing happened this morning...last night I had pulled a couple rocks out to rearrange the aquascaping before taking those last pictures. Anyway, this morning I stepped on something hard laying in the middle of the floor (didn't feel too good in the middle of my bare foot). It was a snail shell...I realized pretty quickly it was probably a hermit crab. I looked inside the shell and thought I saw a little something in there. Plopped it back in the tank and the crab came out and started doing it's thing like nothing ever happened.
Funny how tough those buggers can be some times....think it goes to show the reason for me they never last to long is they need a lot of empty shells to move into as they grow, especially small ones. With my barebottom tank, I never had too many in available.
looks great jim, next i want a top down shot to see how it looks form above! fomr what i can see on top you have those shelves overlapping kinda with corals on them and it looks sweet!
Yeah, they overlap a little. That's how they are out of the box.
I'm pretty happy with how things are going so far. Now that the top is in place, I will start adding fish. Probably pick up the new shrimp goby first to get it established before moving my clowns over. Undecided whether to keep the royal gramma. Most likely will not keep my algae blenny...fairly big fish for the size tank this is.

yellowhead jawfish, by far the best fish addition ever! very interesting in a smaller tank like a biocube.
You think I could get away with one of those and a shrimp goby (leaning toward either a yasha or maybe yellow watchman)?
How about a blue spot jaw? They seem a little touchy?
IMO yellowheads r much more in personality and color. plus half the time the bluespots die and they r anywhere from $60-120. my yellowhead jsut sits there and watches me wherever i go and is the funniest little guy. plus they do not get as large. If it was me id go with a yellowhead but tis all about personal prefrances and the size of your wallet lol.
