For anyone that was following my roommate Dipandots' 15G thread a lot of this will seem familiar. We recently moved back to the dorms and upgraded to a 24G Nano-Cube. Definitely an improvement. We're finally getting the chance to post some pics of the new tank and thought we'd share :)

New additions :D

Today we added a Twin-Spot Hogfish and two Trochus snails to the tank. We are guessing the Hogfish is a female (smaller and less colorful) but if anyone has a more educated opinion, we would be glad to hear it. :)

She has already eaten pellets at the LFS and was a little interested in our Cyclop-Eeze after going in the tank.

We're leaving the lights dimmed for the rest of the night, I'll try to get some better pictures soon.

Looks pretty good.

I suggest getting the surface skimmer for the tank ($5), as it will let more light enter to your corals as well as aerate the tank a wee-bit more.

We figured it's probably time for an update...

There haven't been too many changes around the tank, just some new corals, some invert losses, and finally some growth. We recently fought an Aiptasia outbreak with Joe's Juice. Seems to have done the charm. We also started using aquavitro eight.four and calcification which really seem to help things color up. Another move is coming up (have to love the dorms kicking you out between semesters).

Current Livestock List:

Fish
- Ocellaris Clownfish x2
- Twinspot Hogfish

Inverts
- Rock Flower Anemone

Corals
- Green Montipora Digitata
- Orange Montipora Digitata
- Purple Montipora Capicornius
- Acan Lord x2
- Kenya Tree
- Duncan
- GSP
- Favia
- Fungia
- Hammer
- Frogspawn
- Trumpet
