Emerald525 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Welcome to the forum Barry! I'm guessing from your list that you must also be on nanoreefs as well. Nice equipment list. Your picture didn't come out unfortunately. There are so many new tanks out there but I have always loved the biocubes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paratore Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Very nice looking tank Barry! Welcome to the forum Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pledosophy Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Nice looking tank. Growing sun corals and SPS in the same nano tank is quite the undertaking. Looks like your doing it right with everything so healthy. Kudos Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack-the-reefer Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Looks amazing! What's your secret on the sun corals? I just picked up a black one this weekend and haven't gotten it to open yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarryV Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 Looks amazing! What's your secret on the sun corals? I just picked up a black one this weekend and haven't gotten it to open yet. I feed mine 5 to 6 days a week when I first get a new Sun Coral. Barry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryV Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 Hi All, The other day while clean the glass in my Biocube I found a baby black sun coral. I have several baby yellow sun corals. But this is my first black sun. Check out the photo below. Barry 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarryV Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 Very nice clear pictures ! What is your secret to taking such good pictures ? I think the biggest thing one can do when taking photos of your tank is turn off all pumps and powerheads. Also a good macro lens and a tripod. I find, I will take 20 photos and maybe get one that I think is good. Barry 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarryV Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 Have you noticed an improvement in using the selcon? If so what have you noticed ? I have been using selcon for over a year. About the only thing I can say for sure is, I have lots of baby sun corals. If you like I will post a pic or two of the babies.
