15 Months Saltwater Reef Tank Update - Corals and Fish | Waterbox Cube 20
This week, I'll be taking you guys on a tour of my Waterbox Cube 20, with exciting new updates to share :) This tank has been running for around 15 months and it was my first time documenting the whole process on RU-vid - From unboxing the Watebox Cube 20, cycling the tank to slowly building a happy home for my fish and corals! The journey has been very rewarding and I'm thankful to every one of you who followed along. I'm excited and curious to see what this tank will look like in a year.
Also, let me introduce you to Lenny, my Lawnmower Blenny :) I'd like to think of him as my puppy because he is hyperactive and always hungry (He has a big belly to prove it :D).
I hope you enjoy this week's content and don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss out on the exciting things to come!

I think that is a good spot for it. Your aquarium is so beautiful! 👌 My Xenia was that size when I put it in my 29g. It has grown quite a lot in 2 years but I have it boxed in by other corals so that it doesn't take over my rocks. At least I thought I did.😅 Noticed some started growing elsewhere and one tiny barley visible to the eye pulsing on the glass near the substrate.😳

Since you said to comment on favorite things about fish keeping. With 10 years in the hobby and now having multiple tanks. I’d say learning that each fish has a unique personality is the best thing. I have a violent maroon clown in one tank that only settled down upon putting her in a new tank with some damsels and a yellow watchmen goby, they actually coexist very peaceably. In my main tank my favorite fish is a cleaner wrasse. He’s just like a puppy, when I get home each day and sit next to his tank he swims right next to me doing circles and loops, they’re a very active species. Then when I feed the fish he keeps wanting to perform to be near me. I have to walk away from that tank for him to think about eating. Each night he snuggles up next to a Flame Angel, his best friend, that he swims with a lot. My royal gramma, clowns, 6-line wrasse and lawnmower Benny, all want nothing to do with the cleaner wrasse and flame angelfish. They’re the outcasts but they’re best friends and the flame angel has never nipped at corals.

That was awesome man! The time lapse was even better than I thought, your bleeding apple scoli is still gorgeous too. ❤️ Can I please ask, did your tuxedo urchin solve your turf / green hair algae problems and is it a nuisance picking up its different hats or mostly fun? Hope you’re well!
@BlueReefTank
@BlueReefTank 2 года назад
Thanks Adam! I was surprised that the bleeding apple scoli managed to get back to its perfect donut shapw after feeding🤣 Yes, the urchin definitely did a good job at eating the turf algae in my tank. It can be a nuisance sometimes if the urchin picks up corals that I've already glued, but so far it has not been that bad.

Xenia can drop heads off that will pop up all over the tank. They can also spawn in the aquarium and lead to babies everywhere. I would never recommend xenia to anyone, novice or expert.

@BlueReefTank

Hey Davide, yeah I intentionally left it as it is because I have a lot of pods there for my dragonets. But you can definitely clean that, remove the coralline algae and it'll be black again.
