TCP316's 70G Cube build thread

I like a little less blue. I run 2x abs and 2x blu+ :)

Vicky, can you add some new pictures to this awesome thread. I liked that finnex fixture but I would love the new ATI fixture. I image the light with six t5s is a better fit for your corals. Keep up the good work. Ryan

Okay Ryan,
I have been off the radar for awhile. I've been taking some computer programming classes and devoting my time to that.

I have had to move a few corals around to make room for growth. I got some SPS frags and they had no space to grow.

I am getting ready to start replacing my bulbs one at a time as it is about time to replace them. I don't want to do them all at one time since I just got the cyano under control. My flow is much better. I love my MP10 and new return pump.

The issue I am working on this week is my bulkhead started slowing dripping again and the salt creep caused the paint to come loose on the back. I am going to drain it down some tomorrow and caulk around the bulkhead then repaint after the leak is fixed.

I also recently treated with ChemiClean and it bleached my red cap out completely and I also lost my purple sponge that I was so excited about. I got a replacement start of a cap from Jim_Don't_Care from another site. He also gave me a purple cap chunk as he was trying to control the size of his piece. I left the bleached out red cap hoping it will come back but it barely has any color left at all.
We will see.

Sorry to hear that. No rush it will be there freezing waiting for ya! Take your time

Here are a few more pictures. I forgot to say my Hollywood Stunner didn't survive either. It is still in the tank but most of the flesh just melted off. There a still a small portion alive so hopefully it will come back. My other chalice is a bit faded as you can see in the pictures but hopefully it will make it okay.

It's not the greatest picture but you can see the faded edges. The Stunner was this big as well. I will try to get a picture of how sad it looks now.

This picture is better as far as focus is concerned.

I have been able to get pretty good growth and my Acans have been having little babies around the edges now that I figured out where they like the like.

Again, not the greatest picture. I am not a good underwater photographer. LOL

My candy canes are growing well. The mint green is growing much faster. I think it liked the flow better where it was. I had to move it because it was crowding out my blue stag.

You can see the lighter color where the stag was crowded out.

Still love my Duncans

Your tank is looking awesome!

Thanks. Things are growing in nicely. I just picked up some more frags from Binford. My Red cap lost out to a mix of lighting and possibly chemiclean but I got some to replace that. I also got a few SPS from him as well. I need to find a good sized live rock that is pest free to add so that I can make room for more SPS

Beautiful!!! Duncan's are a favorite of mine. I've had two, both went to new homes as they out grew my tank & I was to afraid to frag em :( Wish I still had em.
