My Aquamedic Chromis Cube

[Kev]

In Oct 05, after months of pondering, I stripped down my old system, and with a little help from a good mate, Eric, I set up my small Aquamedic cube. Some 30+ gallons, I was initially worried about stability because of the size, but these worries have proved unfounded.

With live rock and mature water from the old system, all live stock went went straight in, and from day 1 flourished.

I am not great chemist, and being lazy I now rarely test the water parameters, but I do know when I see a very healthy soft coral.

The livestock comprises over a dozen softies and 3 lps. The usual clean up crew - snails, red legs and a cleaner shrimp. 1 Deresa Clam.

Fish wise, I have 4 very healthy inhabitants - 1 small(ish) yellow tang, 1 bicolour angel and a pair of maroon clowns.

All of the livestock has been with me for over 2 years, having been in my last aquarium.

I use no additives, and just do a five gallon water change every 2 weeks (sometimes I forget).

The tank is bare bottom, and with the addition of a Tunze Stream 6060 the bottom is spotless. I attribute the sucess of this system largeley to water movement, which is kep fresh by the contstant contact with the liverock.

The corals have grown rapidly, with hardly any live rock left visible. The rock work is built in a central pillar, and fish can swim all the way round.
