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.
