Jordy's 29 gallon biocube Mixed Reef
Welcome to Jordys Biocube Reef Diary
(Memories of the 90g)
After being out of town for 3 months and having to break down all my tanks before I left. Im finally back and I couldnt resist setting up my 29 gallon biocube I am planning mostly sps but I cant resist the Pretty Softies and LPS. So this tank is going to consist of primarily acros followed by acans, zoas, florida recordias, and chalices. I am very excited to have this tank going and cant wait to see where it goes! look forward to becoming much more involved on the forums than I have been previously. I plan on documenting every aspect of my tanks life and maintenance schedule now that it is up and running. This is a picture from about 2 weeks ago I picked my Frogspawn up from Tyler Ladner he had it in his tank while i was gone. and It is looking great. Thanks Tyler.

Re: Jordy's 29 gallon biocube Mixed Reef
thats where it started out I just built a canopy for the tank and its only about 14" now i just like plenty of room to get in there and move stuff around i hate having a light on feet right above the water. its super bright anyways I would bleach everything if i turned it up any higher than 70%

Nice looking aquarium dude.. I especially like the reef scape. Very simple and open. Mine's way over crowded.. Lol...
