Alright guys, it's been a while since I updated my Aquapod 24G thread and that is because I upgraded to the new Biocube 29 HQI! What do I think of it so far? I LOVE IT! Talk about a powerful nano tank. It was honestly a contest between the NanoCube 28 LED and this one and this one won because of the overall looks of the tank.

Haha, thanks Mark! This is definitely the biggest saltwater tank for me thus far and one of the new challenges for me has been making sure I don't have dead spots. So I've been messing with my koralia nano quite a bit trying to get the flow just right.
 
I'm going to be updating this thread a lot more again. Since my last post, I redid my tank. I had a half-deep sand bed before and it was messing with my parameters for a while and I couldn't keep it clean. I recently, however, removed the entire deep sand bed and put in a very shallow one and I'm already seeing great results with corals growing back out, less algea buildup, and stable parameters 24/7. I also bought a little more rock and redid the rock work.


Most importantly, I invested in a new Cannon EOS Rebel T2i and I can take great pictures now! Pictures to come soon!
 
Looks good! Will be tagging along. I wanted to get that tank too but opted for a smaller cadlights led tank. Keep the updates going.
