I really need head up north and check out the store. Dustin 

Little update. Did a phosphate check (first time ever) and they came out .04 on the Hanna checker. Added some coral, hammer, duncan, mushrooms and orange zoa. 

Awesome they look great. Glad to see the bubble tips thriving in such a young reef. Dustin 

How’s the bubble tips doing? Dustin 

I have a midas blenny and he is not an algae grazer, cool fish tho. Dustin 

Sold. Thank you 

Hello I have a 29g Bio Cube I no longer need anymore. The glass is in pretty good shape. The lid is starting to crack but still fits on top. Lights everything work it’ll come with return pump and a skimmer I have. It’ll be empty. I’m located in Springfield Or. Dustin 

Ive had Kenya tree coral look really bad for a few days. Nothing seems to bother it, hardiest coral I’ve ever owned. I wouldn’t worry about it. Dustin 

Added some new equipment to the sump. A BRS media reactor and a Reef Octopus essence 130. Everything else going smoothly. Dustin 

They look pretty nice. and do come with nice water volumes. I’m curious as well. Dustin 

These are great photos. Thanks for sharing. Dustin

nice looking tank and i really like the midas blenny.  the red sea tanks and sumps are good looking setups.  maybe you have one but i would recommend a screen top for that tank with the midas blenny.  i've always been told they are jumpers.  i've had them in the past but have always had a screen top or some other kind of top to keep them from jumping out.  

Thank you. Yes I do have a screen top thank you for suggestion.  Dustin 

Update. My tank cycled after around 3 weeks. Added my black clown from my previous cube. Few days later added a pajama cardinal. After another week added 5 blue/green chromis 1 Midas blenny and 1 Linespot flasher Wrasse. Dustin

I was curious on people who are running 120 or 240 skimmer what water level there sump is at? And would you recommend? Thanks Dustin 

Great build thanks for posting. Really like your ATO set up and Fish selection. Dustin 

I’m interested also live in same area. I’ve only been to Aqua Serene and the Fish store in Springfield. 

sump setup. Still need clean up cords and things.

Very exciting. Those Red Sea aquariums are as slick as slick gets. Post a pic of the lower sump while it is in its 'clean' phase

Thank you. Will do on the sump after work tonight.

Congrats on new tank. One suggestion I would make if you done mind is “open the rock work a little so you have better flow” and maybe move away from glass. It’s hard to tell in pictures but might have a tough time cleaning with rock so close

nice tank!! The Red Sea tanks look great 

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve been thinking the same thing about the rocks. Been battling my wife on rock design lol. 

Just got my Redsea E-260 up and running tonight. I purchased the optional lower sump with it. So far so good. Just letting a slow cycle begin. Most rock was left over from an old tank and dead. 80lbs pink Fiji sand. Aqueon 250w heater, 2 Hydra 26HD, my return pump is a pondmaster 950. Dustin

Thanks everybody. I’ll post some pics on a build thread. It’ll take some time won’t be transferring much from my bio cube into new tank because of bubble algae and aptasia been battling forever. Tank should be here tomorrow pretty darn excited lol. Dustin 

New around here, have had a bio cube 29 going for quite awhile now upgrading to a new Redsea E-260 arriving here this week. Looking to mostly gain knowledge and experience here for a reef set up. I’m located in Springfield, Oregon. Thanks Dustin 

Looking for 5-10 lb LR in Eugene area. Thanks Dustin
