the above is the tank that I have...
I lined the bottom with about 10 lbs of that Coral sand stuff ( you know the shit thats imported from Fiji) and then I put in about 12 lbs of Live rock ( again, fiji live rock).
Its a tiny ass box that pretty much has everything you need... its called a Nanocube, but Noobcube is more like it. Of course, I cant seem to fucking even handle this cube right without killing the inhabitants, so im losing confidence quick-like!
My mushroom coral died on day 1, and some other polyp coral that I had bit the dust on day 2. Now Im combatting an algae problem so I went and bought some queen conch shells, and bought 6 hermit crabs and some other shell fish that I cant remember the name of "aerestas? aeriolas? not sure... but they look like queen conch shells.

they all cleaned my sand up pretty good, but the glass to my noobcube still looks like it got hit with a mudpie.
Do those magfloat things work?
